That this outfit does a whole another crackling production every other night is impressive.Ĭreative: Playwright – William Shakespeare director – Todd Denning music director – Scott McKenna Campbell fight director, intimacy director – Christopher Elst scenic and properties designer – Jody Sekas costume designer – Shannon Heibler production stage manager – Lindy Girman assistant stage manager – Jamie Alexander lighting designer – Todd Mion acting artistic director – Amy Ensign Norman, Christopher Elst and Jamey Feshold) and the thunder-and-lighting storm effects makers. Much more is part of the “show” by the company and the visual/aural creators – the love-struck Miranda (Alayna Perry) and Ferdinand (Alex Galick), the conniving Antonio (Mark Corkins) and Sebastian (Dan Klarer), the haunting fairies (Katherine E. Alexander Johnson also has key scenes being monsterly to Prospero. Also, Charles Fraser is a quick-change costume/character artist, also being Alonso, the power-grabbing brother of Prospero.

Often when Ariel is up to casting spells of her own, the act includes singing or music accompanying her poetic words by a musician playing a whatchamacallit – a hybrid violin the likes of which most people have never seen.ĭirector Todd Denning has special folks – pros – to collaborate with for spell-making under a massive maple tree that adds character to Door Shakespeare’s inventive personality.Īt the core is the story of a leader, Prospero, scorned and stuck on a remote island with a daughter, a nasty gofer (go for this, go for that) and a handy-dandy spirit. The magical Prospero is a mother rather than a father to a daughter, Miranda, who is being introduced to humankind by way of a shipwreck caused by revenge-minded Prospero.Īlso, the spirit Ariel is a dual persona.
