House Party Theatre Returns with JULIUS CAESAR

House Party Theatre returns this Spring with their brutal, efficient mainstage production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, cut and directed by HPT leader Sarah Lacy Hamilton. Julius Caesar begins with a press opening on Thursday, April 20 at 8pm and continues its run on April 21, 22, 24, 27 and 28. All tickets are $15 and are on sale now at https://housepartytheatre.ticketleap.com/juliuscaesar/.

All performances will be held at the 508 Park amphitheater in downtown Dallas. 508 Park is part of The Stewpot's Encore Park project, whose mission in part is to bring together people of all cultures and faiths through dialogue, education, service, music and art. The amphitheater is the first phase of the restoration of the historically and architecturally significant 508 Park building, which will house the Museum of Street Culture, a recording studio, and art studio space.

After collaborating with 508 Park on their fall production of Shakespeare's MacBeth, House Party Theatre is excited to return to the amphitheater for the gripping tale of Julius Caesar. With a tactical and driving female take on the Roman emperor's betrayal and murder, be ready for an intense matriarchal twist to this dominant, fast-moving Elizabethan thriller. When Brutus (played by SMU alum Sasha Davis) is confronted with the unsettling reality that Caesar (played by Beth Lipton) has become more god than mortal, she has a decision to make. The serpentine Cassius (played by HPT regular Reese Arrington) is anxious to get Brutus on his side as he plans to liberate the people of Rome from such a tyrant. Brutus must ask herself: When you truly believe you are creating a better world, will you kill for that belief? Find out this April at HPT's JULIUS CAESAR.

See you on the edge of your seat.
