Greenman Theatre Troupe

Still Time to Go Hollywood!

There is still time to see GreenMan Theatre's spring production of "Shakespeare in Hollywood."

"Shakespeare in Hollywood" by Ken Ludwig deals with classic Hollywood figures clashing with classic Shakespearean characters, often with very funny results. The play takes place in 1930's Hollywood. Max Reinhardt is in the midst of directing the Warner Brothers' movie version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Reinhardt has stars Dick Powell, James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, and Joe E. Brown in his cast. It should be a can't miss project! But then the "real" Oberon and Puck from Shakespeare's play are magically transported onto the set and are mistaken for the actors portraying them. Can supernatural beings from the Magic Wood near Athens survive in the glitzy lifestyle of 20th Century Hollywood?

Performances of "Shakespeare in Hollywood" run the weekends of May 6-22. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 PM and Sunday matinees are at 2 PM.
