All’s Well That Ends Well

Helena is in love with Bertram who is well beyond her social standing. Though he does not love her in return, she is determined to win his affection. After remarkably healing the sickly king, Helena is rewarded with Bertram’s hand in marriage. Meanwhile, Bertram escapes the king’s will (and Helena’s advances!) by going to war. Clever Helena will not be ignored, so she sets out to bring to fruition impossible tasks set forth by Bertram. Will she win his love? All’s Well That Ends Well is rated PG for Parental Guidance.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic powders and tinctures have brought forth his other self: Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who is the servant. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is rated T for Teen.

The Comedy of Errors

Twins are common characters in Shakespeare’s plays, and The Comedy of Errors does twins one better—its protagonists, Antipholus and Dromio, set out in search of their family only to discover they each have a twin! Set in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1912 during the United States Chinese Exclusion Act, this production adds a new meaningful layer to the otherwise farcical hijinks. The Comedy of Errors is rated E for Everyone.
