This event has passed

After a catastrophic act of jealousy wreaks havoc, 20 years must pass for the damage that is done to be set right. Craig Wright reimagines Shakespeare’s most miraculous play, in this timeless tale set in mythical Pine City, Minnesota. Fiercely dramatic, delightfully romantic, and wonderfully musical, Melissa Arctic will restore your faith in the redemptive power of art and hope.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Delightful and fascinating

THE STAR LEDGER

Posner has shown that he has a strong sense of the homespun Americana values that we as a society are in dire need of being reminded of now.
