The Odyssey Tour.
Admission is free and open to the public.
SSE, a touring group of Shenandoah Shakespeare of Staunton, Va., will present Hamlet Monday, April 16, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead Tuesday, April 17, and The Alchemist Wednesday, April 18. Described by The Boston Globe as a troupe that works it s complex magic with the simplest of elements, SSE has brought its high-energy productions to Central since 1993. Under this principle, SSE emphasizes the playwright s language, interacts with the audience, uses minimal properties and set and maintains a small number of expressive and versatile actors who may play as many as seven roles in their repertory productions. Shenandoah Shakespeare is currently beginning a three-part initiative to construct an indoor Elizabethan playhouse, a Globe Theatre and a Center for Research and Education in Virginia. Established in 1988, SSE has performed in 46 states and five foreign countries.
