It was lovely to have Director Ashley DeMoville and actors Conner Gracio, Arthur Riese-Freeman and Jennifer Tindall from SFCC’s Spartan Theatre in our studio today to discuss their current stage production: “Shakespeare in Love.” Adapted from the film of the same name, this play depicts the legendary William Shakespeare as a young playwright tormented by writer’s block who finds his inspiration in a wealthy merchant’s daughter that secretly longs to be an actor.

The next performances will be at 7:30 PM on March 7, 8 & 9 and 2 PM on March 10.

This show is suitable for general audiences.
