"We bring a long lost style back to theatre-- In the old days, before the 20th century, the theatre was vibrant with a life between actor and audience, between their reality and ours. We do not think the audience should be regulated to sitting like good boys and girls in the dark but, to be in our world with us. Our stage is wooden, our amber lights make it glow, and you will be transported back in time to a theatre experience like no other. Laugh at our clowns, get angry at our villians, sigh with our lovers, cry at misfortunes and applaud happy endings."- Joshua Koehn, Actor/Manager/Director

Performances run Thursdays-Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 3pm through the 27th. Tickets available at www.stagandliontheatre.com.

THE TEMPEST also features John Lichtwalt, Joshua Koehn, Michael DeFilippis, Charlie MacAndrew, Megan Lennon, Andrew James Young, Daniel Coelho, Nicholas Kennedy, Joe Schwalb, Andrew James Young, and Nicholas De Phares, Aurelea and Ben Beru as Ariel.
