SUMMARY:OPENING NIGHT: The Duchess of Malfi
DESCRIPTION:The Duchess of Malfi\nSat Sept 9\, 2023 – Sat Oct 21\, 2023 \nWritten by John Webster\nDirected by Hayley Rice*\nFight Choreography by Maya Vinice Prentiss\nWhen the widowed Duchess of Malfi chooses to love again\, honestly and defiantly\, the men in her family do everything in their power to break those that would dare to flout the unspoken rules of a “traditional” society. “Despite the 407 years between the premiere of Duchess of Malfi and today\, in some ways very little has changed\,” states Rice. “This production will focus on the (unfortunately timeless) theme of the power held\, and desperately clung to\, by a patriarchal society\, and how something as simple as two people openly loving each other outside of that dichotomy is an inherent threat to those in power (then and today). Toxic masculinity is still an insidious disease. It lashes out at marginalized communities. It also eats away at some men\, making them feel\, to paraphrase a section of the text\, like they’re ‘wearing a wolf-skin that is hairy on the inside.’” \nBUY TICKETS HERE\n\n  \n\n \n \n  \n\nMasks are required for in-person attendance\nIf you are unable to mask\, or uncomfortable with in person attendance you may purchase tickets for online streaming performances October 12-15 \n\n\n**Tickets: Previews $20; student and senior tickets are $28 and general admission are $35. \n***Ticket sales end 3 hours before curtain.
