The Players tell the story of a royal but “toxic” blended family and its quest for power. In this epic fairy tale, the action travels across a continent, and features treachery, romance, disguise, long-lost siblings, and a couple of villains to rival Iago and Lady M.

Young people are especially encouraged to attend the show to experience Shakespeare in this unique way: as performed professionally by their peers. The young Players, ages 6 through 14, explore themes that are as current today as they were in the 1600s.
