THANK YOU to our audiences who joined us in the park for THE TEMPEST. We hope that you enjoyed free Shakespeare in the Park this summer and that you will join us this fall for MACBETH.

BRAVO!

This was such an incredibly difficult decision. We want to thank everyone that auditioned, turned in tapes, and even showed interest.

As to the cast, congratulations and we will send word about next steps on Monday.

We are looking forward to working with Playhouse Merced to get Come From Away up and in the air for August.
