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.

Original Review

Roughly 10 minutes before the Prenzie Players' presentation of The Winter's Tale gets underway, there's a brief, improvisational scene between the Bohemian king Polixenes (David Furness) and Prince Mamillius (Stephanie Moeller), the young son of the king and queen of Sicily.
