Ten Thousand Things presents Measure for Measure
Fourteen years ago, Measure for Measure was Ten Thousand Things’ first Shakespeare production. Now, after a successful co-production of the play with The Public Theater in New York in 2010, the company brings a new production to new audiences in the Twin Cities in fall 2012.
The show begins its tour to prisons, low-income centers and shelters September 13 and concludes with four weekends of public performances at Open Book September 27–October 21 (exception: October 18 at Plymouth Congregational Church). Artistic Director Michelle Hensley directs Shakespeare’s look at the inadequacy of human efforts to render good justice. Featured in the cast are Luverne Seifert, Sonja Parks, Suzanne Warmanen, India Gurley, Nathan Barlow, Karen Wiese-Thompson, Zach Curtis and Kurt Kwan. Peter Vitale is the music director.
Sets are by Stephen Mohring and costumes by Amelia Cheever. For tickets: http://www.tenthousandthings.org/measure.
