“Cymbeline” by William Shakespeare, directed by Michelle Milne

“In this romantic and humorous tale of love, betrayal, and mistaken identity, “Cymbeline” follows loyal Imogen as she takes fate into her own hands to reunite with the man who betrayed her. Though gender-bending various roles, we will examine the themes of gender and stereotypes in this classic work of theater,” said the theater department.

Also, be on the lookout for more information on the senior theater recitals throughout the year, showcasing the talents of the department’s fourth-year students. First up is Violet Smucker’s show, “Working Between the Lines,” featuring six short student-written plays never before seen onstage. Come support her at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4; admission is free.
