Theatre: Howard Drew Theatre
Omaha Community Playhouse

Rehearsals: Rehearsal schedule will be determined once the show is cast.

Description: Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet, but without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! After the death of their friend and mentor, the two actors are determined to compile the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg and band together to get it done.

Director: Marie Amthor Schuett
