Photo Flash: Meet the Stars of THE WINTER'S TALE at MCCC's Kelsey Theatre

Mercer County Community College's (MCCC's) Kelsey Theatre is proud to welcome back the Mercer County-based theater company Shakespeare '70 for "Summer Shakespeare" in June. Now in its 46th year at Kelsey, the popular company presents Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," a comedic favorite thick with love, jealousy, hidden identities, new beginnings -- and a famously ravenous bear! BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars below!

King Leontes is not above petty jealousies and has the power to exact punishment on those he believes have wronged him. Along with elements of psychological drama, "The Winter's Tale" entertains with songs, dances, a disastrous shipwreck, a living statue, romance and lovers torn apart. In short, Shakespeare fans will find everything they could ask for in this five-act comedy that is ultimately a story of redemption and forgiveness.

Directed by Frank Erath and Janet Quartarone, the show's cast includes Andrew Timmes of Lawrenceville as Leontes; Sarah Stryker of Princeton as Hermione; Ray Fallon of Westwood as Polixenes; Curt Foxworth of Hightstown as Camillo; Kyla Marie Mostello Donnelly of Newtown, Pa., as Paulina; Aaron Wexler of Philadelphia, Pa., as Antigonus; Zakir Zaidi of Princeton as Mamillius; Vianna Fagel of Lawrenceville as Emilia; Ernie Albanesius of Chesterfield as Autolycus; James Bloss of Marlton as Cleomenes; Jack Bathke of Robbinsville as Dion; Tara Mershon of West Amwell as Perdita; John Eldis of Ewing as the Shepherd; Michael Krahel of Hillsborough as the Shepherd's brother; and Steven Munoz of Ewing as Florizel. Appearing in multiple roles are Justin Mancini of Ewing, Nick James Andrejco of West Windsor, Brittany Rivera of Manchester, and Jaclyn Wasneski of Hightstown.
