“One of the very last plays that Shakespeare wrote, ‘The Winter’s Tale’ melds drama, comedy, romance, music, and magic together into a marvelous, moving fairytale centered on the power of love and family. I've long wanted to direct this extraordinary show,” Zipay said. “We have a tremendously talented cast of 15 students, who altogether play over 30 roles, as well as a student scenic designer, student assistant directors, and assistant stage managers. All have fully committed themselves to this production, making it a beautiful, touching, hilarious, and joyful event!”

A jealous king spins his kingdom into chaos when he accuses his wife of infidelity and sends his baby daughter into the wilderness to die. Years later, a series of miracles reunites his family – a glorious celebration of forgiveness and redemption in one of Shakespeare’s classic romances. This production is directed by Professor Joanne Zipay.“One of the very last plays that Shakespeare wrote, ‘The Winter’s Tale’ melds drama, comedy, romance, music, and magic together into a marvelous, moving fairytale centered on the power of love and family.
