Lights Up! Theatre Company is thrilled to jump start their sixth season with one of Shakespeare’s most famous and beloved plays, The Tempest! Aided by her magical powers, Prospera and her daughter Miranda have survived for 12 long years on an abandoned island, after being set adrift to die at sea by Prospera’s own noble family. When a stormy shipwreck strands the same royal entourage on the shores of their island home, is it coincidence, fate, or something more sinister? As Prospera grows closer to getting the justice she craves for this cruel exile, she witnesses her daughter fall in love, listens to the wisdom of spirits, and discovers that sometimes forgiveness is the only way forward. Shakespeare’s classic tale of betrayal, love, magic, family and revenge will take you on a fantastical adventure through the high seas on a voyage of human discovery. Mark your calendars for December 14th-15th for an epic evening of theater you won’t soon forget!
