Join Joshua, Laura, and Tempest as they take you through the works of one of the greatest playwrights of all time. Will they hit every single play he wrote? Well…mostly.

ABOUT OUR THEATRE: Believing the theatre is an agent of challenge, change, and education, Centerstage presents and produces quality performances to enhance the lives of people and communities in Western Washington. Centerstage Theatre has been a feature of the South Sound Arts Community since 1977. Moving into the brand new Knutzen Family Theatre in 1998, the company continued to grow, eventually stepping into the professional theatre world by beginning to pay all of its actors and production crew and garnering awards from local publications and papers. *For more information on THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED), call the box office at (253) 661-1444, or email Artistic Director Trista Duval at * *Trista@CenterstageTheatre.com* *END* -- Trista Duval Artistic Director Centerstage Theatre (253) 661-1444 http://www.centerstagetheatre.com
