Meet Abner Leung who is playing Lady/Ensemble. Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre Company Presents: THE WINTER'S TALE By William Shakespeare September 23, 24 7:00pm RCSF Tuscan Garden Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden 1000 Richmond Terrace Staten Island, NY 10301 The Winter’s Tale is a cautionary play about the damage jealousy can wreak on families and friendships; however, it is also a play about how someone can be redeemed from their mistakes and ultimately has a central theme of hope. It includes murderous passions, man-eating bears, princes and princesses in disguise, death by drowning and by grief, oracles, betrayal, and unexpected joy. Yet the play, which draws much of its power from Greek myth, is grounded in the everyday. Written with a 16-year time jump, this production will make the most of the contrast by setting the first part of the story in the straight-laced and uptight, early 1950s and then move to the laid-back, counter-cultural world of the late 1960s - where magic is experienced and made real. FREE ADMISSION Seating is limited and a ticket is required. Free tickets can be obtained at the door before each performance (if still available), or get them in advance by visiting sishakespeare.org Featuring: Jake Benoit Connor Burke Jack Dabdoub Aubree Chanel Dixon James Dryden Nick Easton Tim Farley Becca Carter Freeman Johnny Gottsegen Robert Heffernan Lauren Keffler Abner Leung Libby Ronon Caroline Russell Meredith Sladek Sadie Veach Jane Walsh Israel Adam Wasserstein Ella Williams Directed by Frank Williams Assistant Director: Cara S.
