Cast Announced for THE TEMPEST at SouthBank Shakespeare

SBS_logoProspero was once a grand lady, a famous sorceress and the ruler of the city-state Milan. A shocking coup, led by her ruthless sister Antonia, ended with Prospero left for dead on a deserted island. Now, many years later, fate – and a raging tempest summoned by Prospero’s magic – brings the two sisters face to face once more, and Prospero must make an irrevocable choice between virtue and vengeance. The Tempest, Shakespeare’s final comedy, is a tale of hope, betrayal, and justice, packed full of magic and monsters, handsome princes and bumbling servants, and longings more wild and powerful than the raging sea itself.

Cast Announced for CORIOLANUS at Southbank Shakespeare

SBS_logoSouthbank Shakespeare is overjoyed and so excited to announce the cast for this summer’s production of CORIOLANUS. An oft forgotten gem in Shakespeare’s illustrious canon, CORIOLANUS tells the story of a Rome that is viciously searching for a new way to represent its citizens, and the socially self-destructive military hero that lies at the center of it all: Caius Martius Coriolanus. A tragedy of those left behind by the state, and the lies they are told so that those in power can absorb more and more of the state without challenge. Join us for a ballad of honor, valor, and betrayal June 20-23 at Thomas Moore University.

Director: Timothy Andrew Leonard
Stage Manager: Lauren Davidson
Assistant Director: Gabby Casto
Producer: Phillip Webster

Featuring:

  • Tony Newton as Coriolanus
  • Stephanie Johnson as Volumnia
  • Madelynn Meredith as Virgilia
  • Sophia DiPuccio as Menenius
  • Aaron Whitehead as Cominius
  • Christine Gallagher as Sicinia
  • Dylan Waters as Brutus
  • Nicole Leonard as Lartius
  • Dylan McKenna as Aufidius
