A group of soldiers and criminals have been sent to Australia as part of a recently created penal colony. To raise morale on this bitter outpost, Lieutenant Ralph Clark decides to stage a production of Farquhar’s comedy The Recruiting Officer, cast with inmates. But the lieutenant has his hands full with this group of performers. Each actor in the cast — including Kelsey Brennan, Nate Burger, Josh Krause, Brian Mani, Cristina Panfilio, Andrea San Miguel — will portray multiple characters in this play by Timberlake Wertenbaker exploring issues of incarceration, gender, race, sex and the redemptive power of art. See this after you see The Recruiting Officer up the hill.
August 11-Oct. 7
PS: There is a play within this play and it happens to be The Recruiting Officer. See them together for a richer experience of both.
