This year, the T.C. Williams drama department will be presenting <em>The Tempest<\/em> in the middle of November. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The play will put a modern spin on one of Shakespeare&#8217;s classics about a man and his daughter who get stranded on an enchanted island. The play explores the themes of revenge, love, and power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hope E. Bachman-Miller, Executive Director,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> works alongside Executive Producer Leslie A. Jones. The Student Director is Annlouise Conrad and the Student Stage Manager is Paul Holtz.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Conrad, the play will feature \u201ca bit of romance, and a bit of fun.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conrad was inspired by the play&#8217;s first performance at The Globe, the theatre in London where Shakespeare&#8217;s plays were often performed. She noted that the original play featured many special effects that enhanced the performance, and although T.C. does not have access to the same elements that Shakespeare did, Conrad drew inspiration from the original. \u201cThe theme of this year was to go out of the box,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The drama department also adopted a timeless interpretation of the play. Conrad said, \u201cusually, when people do Shakespeare, it&#8217;s in a specific time period. What we are doing is out of time, and we are focusing on the island.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the performances will be located at the T.C. Williams King Street Campus Auditorium. The performance dates for <em>The Tempes<\/em>t are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saturday, November 11 at 2:00 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuesday, November 14 at 4:00 p.m. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price for adults is $15, and for ACPS Staff, Students, and Senior Citizens it is $10 for each show.
