  • People standing in a line in a field

    King Lear

    Directed by Michole Biancosino.

    An aging monarch plans to divide his kingdom between his three daughters. But when he asks them first to prove how much they love him, he sets off a series of events which turn the daughters into enemies, the state into a maelstrom. One of the greatest tragedies ever written, in a new adaptation featuring music by Clint Bierman ’97 and Professor of Theatre Alex Draper in the title role.

    Please join us for a post-show talk back with the director and company after the Friday performance.
