Staged Reading | Shakespeare's Comedy-Romance Pericles


The Instant Shakespeare Company presents this play that begins with a riddle and ends with a miraculous reunion. Pericles, Prince of Tyre, accepts a challenge to solve a riddle and thereby win the hand of the daughter of Antiochus, King of Antioch. Gower, a narrator who recites a prologue at the beginning of each of the five acts, describes her as a breathtaking beauty. Anyone desiring to marry her must first solve the riddle. There’s a catch, though. If a suitor provides the wrong answer to the riddle, he will be decapitated and his head hung high for all to see.

Concert | A Concert Version of Paul Simon & Derek Wolcott's The Capeman


The Capeman, featuring music by Paul Simon and book and lyrics by Simon and Derek Walcott, will be directed by Tony Award nominee Diane Paulus, who directed the concert version of Hair in 2007. Sergio Trujillo will provide choreography and the Grammy-winning Oscar Hernandez and an extraordinary 12-piece orchestra will play Simon’s haunting score. Originally on Broadway in 1998, this musical tells the true story of a Nuyorican street gang member whose story exploded on to the front pages of the tabloids in 1959, ultimately revealing the cultural and racial tensions beneath the surface of New York in that era. The score is a dazzling blend of Latin music, Doo Wop and artful ballads to tell a gripping and controversial New York story.
