The drama department at Lone Star College-CyFair is celebrating influential playwright William Shakespeare through a series of performances. The department is initiating its celebration with a family-friendly performance titled “A Ruff Guide to Shakespeare” in the last week of June.
“So many of us are impacted by this particular playwright, and yet so few of us even understand his work or his stories,” Fine Arts Coordinator Joshua Estrada said in a statement.
Audiences can look forward to sketches, songs, dance routines and extracts from renditions of many of Shakespeare’s plays, not just those well known to the general public. Performances will start at 10 a.m. from June 27-30, which will also have a 7:30 p.m. showing.
“A Season of Shakespeare” will continue in October with a performance of “The Curate Shakespeare, As You Like It,” in which a small group of performers will attempt to perform 30-plus roles. Carrying on in November, the department will perform the playwright’s most well-known play, “Hamlet.”
