Description
Ophelia’s Jump Productions presents the Annual Midsummer Shakespeare Festival with A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM and OTHELLO. The productions will run July 14-24, 2016 at Sontag Greek Theatre at Pomona College in Claremont. The festival, co-sponsored by Pomona College, includes exhibits, arts and crafts by community businesses and organizations. Tickets are available at opheliasjump.org, or by calling 909-541-5850.
This year’s Annual Midsummer Shakespeare Festival marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death with a comedy celebrating the confusion and magic of love and a tale of passion and jealousy when these Shakespearian plays are presented at Pomona College’s beautiful Sontag Greek Theatre, an outdoor amphitheater originally built in 1910 and renovated in 1997. The productions will be performed in repertory, alternating each night.
ABOUT OTHELLO
Othello, a decorated and revered soldier, marries Desdemona, the daughter of a local aristocrat. This unexpected pairing serves as the catalyst for the scheming Iago to wreak his vengeance upon the woman he abhors…Othello.
Now a Claremont tradition, Ophelia’s Jump’s Midsummer Shakespeare Festival artfully presents tragedy and comedy under the stars in a beautiful outdoor setting. Each performance opens nightly with a 30-minute Green Show - an entertaining prelude to the evening’s main performance. We invite you to bring your own picnic and don’t forget a small blanket or cushion for added comfort.
