  • SEASON XIX

    We are MOOSE HALL THEATRE COMPANY, and with your support we are working diligently to bring you SEASON XIX Future considerations are: Anton Chekhov's THE CHERRY ORCHARD. Chekhov’s final comic/dramatic masterpiece: a bittersweet study of Russia’s elite as it adjusts to rapid social changes at the turn of the 20th century. . . • TITUS ANDRONICUS! Karma goes round and round, round and round . . . William Shakespeare’s early blood-fed foray serves-up a dish of hate, deceit, lust, rapine violence, madness and savage revenge, seasoned with a touch of burlesque. Does this grizzly cause and effect of retribution reveal a dark side of human nature that we recognize today? Come to the chopping block and see. • William Shakespeare’s ROMEO & JULIET. The famous tale of the young star-crossed lovers played robustly with touching wit, humor and deep understanding by actors in the twilight of their years. A magical staging that proves the universal truths of love and impetuous devotion are universal and know not the bounds of age. • Shakespeare’s THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR. One of Moose Hall Theatre Company / Inwood Shakespeare Festival's most hilarious production returns in all its silly, spectacular splendor.
