Cirque-Inspired TEMPSET Set for August 16-28 at Notre Dame
By: Nora Dominick Aug. 01, 2016
According to Hyler, "The Tempest shines as one of Shakespeare's most magical and generous plays. The shipwrecked magician living on a deserted island with his daughter thrills with spectacular possibilities. We have brought together a company of professional actors and acrobats, illusionists and clowns to bring The Tempest to life in both soul and spectacle." Full of danger, romance, comedy, original music, aerial acrobatics, and wind illusions, The Tempest floods the DeBartolo stage with faith and forgiveness, magic and mystery.
