On May Day weekend, Friday, April 28- Monday, May 1, Silver City Community Theatre (SCCT) is celebrating Shakespeare and spring in Big Ditch Park, according to Hallie Harris, director of the program called Ditch-Speare.
“We’re celebrating Shakespeare’s works in a playful way with sonnets and short pieces from his plays and live music from Shakespeare’s time,” Harris said. “The tone is lighthearted and fun. There is a little ‘naughty’ Shakespearean language and some very mild violence (no blood, no guns). It is suitable for most audiences.”
Ditch-Speare runs less than an hour. Admission is free.
“Be prepared to hang out in the great outdoors,” Harris said. “Bring your own chairs, sunscreen and bug spray.”
The show starts at 7 p.m. on Friday; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday; and 6 p.m. on Sunday and Monday. Enter Big Ditch Park on the path at the north end of MainStreet Plaza, 704 N Bullard St, downtown Silver City.
“Mostly it’s a way for some of us local actors and performers to shake the dust of the past years off and bring some beloved pieces together,” Harris said. “We’re trying to keep it simple and focus on the joy and beauty of the words.”
The Ensemble
The cast is Billy Dominguez, Bella Drissell, Natalee Drissell, Finley Drissell, Hallie Harris, Gregg Jarrette, Patrick Kosiorek, Wendy Spurgeon, Sarah Thrasher, and Ana Trinidad. With music by Billy Dominquez, Farhad and Sarah Thrasher.
"It's really exciting to be mingling with this company of tremendously talented scallywags and rogues,” SCCT Artistic Director Wendy Spurgeon said, “It's magical, pop-up theatre and a joy to play with Hallie Harris and the crew in the Big Ditch over May Day weekend. Don't miss it!"
“We as a community are blessed to have so many people who are dedicated to the arts,” Harris said” This cast is a bunch of hard-working performers, musicians, directors and writers who want to share the love and hopefully inspire someone in the audience who doesn’t know there’s an actor inside them.”
