Prenzie Players is thrilled to return to downtown Rock Island! We will perform our next show, Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare, in The District of Rock Island.

Join Prenzie Players on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 from 730-1030pm for an evening of food, music, and live theater as we celebrate last year's accomplishments and look forward to the coming year's opportunities!

Our program will include a performance of Cyclops by Euripides -- the only known recorded Ancient Greek Satyr play, at which you'll laugh as much as you cried at Euripides' Trojan Women this previous Spring. We'll also treat you to a dramatic staging of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem Ulysses.

We are looking for actors to perform in Cyclops by Euripides, Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson, Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare, and Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. Men and women in a wide variety of body shapes and ages are needed. Any level of stage experience is welcome! You need only show up ready to read from the texts we will be performing.

Fall: The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare

Leontes, King of Sicily, overcome by a sudden, maddening, unreasoning jealousy, sets out to destroy his marriage, family, and kingdom—all in the name of justice. One of the late great romances, an exploration of the worth and price of redemption, rich in love, music, and comedy with an unforgettable conclusion, The Winter's Tale is William Shakespeare at his most affecting and most profound.
