We’re proud to announce a new wing of our productions: FLIGHTS WITH FENIX!
The goal of this new umbrella of programming is to explore more of Shakespeare's works throughout the year in new ways, providing paid opportunities for more artists. A play in a day is the perfect first offering: quick to produce, engaging for the audience, and a dynamic challenge for our amazingly talented local actors and theater makers.
Something Wicked (Ambitious) This Way Comes!
No one knows what will actually happen when the show starts, and that's the real magic. At 9:00 AM on Sunday, November 2nd, twenty actors will gather at The Hill Arts to do something exhausting, ambitious, and very possibly stupid. They will arrive with only their lines memorized. They will not have the luxury of weeks of rehearsal. They will not have the “bells and whistles” of scenery or meticulously designed props and costumes. They will not have a comfort zone. Instead, these actors will rely on their dramatic instincts, weeks of solo preparation, the brilliance of a Shakespeare play, and the adrenaline that pumps through their veins on the knowledge that the audience will file in to see the show at 7:00 PM on the same day.
Will we pull it off? The only way to find out is to reserve your free ticket here:
To reduce cost barriers for our community members, we operate on a donate-what-you-can model rather than charging a ticket fee. We gratefully accept cash/check/Venmo donations at The Hill Arts on the night of the show, or you can donate online at any time using the button below. Thank you for your support!
