A.C.T. Performing JULIUS CAESAR in Moraga Room

Theatre Visiting Professor Shannon R. Davis, former A.C.T. Director of Community Connections, has invited the organization's A.C.T. Out Tour to come perform Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR in the round in the Moraga Room on Friday, March 28, 12:00 pm-1:30 pm (no intermission). This is a modern verse translation by Shishir Kurup, adapted and directed by Rebecca J. Ennals with additional adaptation and translation by the A.C.T. Out Tour. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend for FREE. 

Davis helped create the A.C.T. Out Tour and was instrumental in getting funding for the program. Last year, the group performed MEASURE FOR MEASURE in the Moraga Room, with great reviews from the SMC Community.

From the ACT Website:

We have just been through one of the most tumultuous election seasons in recent memory—including violence, polarization, and real-life reminders of how voters can change their minds based on rhetoric and communication strategies. The A.C.T. OUT Tour’s production of Julius Caesar asks important questions about threats to democracy and how deeply polarized societies avoid civil war.

Julius Caesar contains some of the most memorable language in Shakespeare, not to mention detailed characterizations and deep explorations of human relationships. Shishir Kurup’s translation preserves all of Shakespeare’s magnificent rhetoric while making obscure humor and historical references more accessible. Seven dynamic actors bring this story to life in a tight 90-minute adaptation, performed in the round with exciting audience interactions.

This performance includes depictions of violence, crowd brutality, suicides, and battles, and is recommended for mature middle and high school students and adult audiences.

We hope you can join us! No RSVP required.
