Rubicon Theatre Company announces their dramatic return to live performances with an eclectic season of three Youth Theatre shows to be performed at the outdoor amphitheater at Villanova Preparatory School in Ojai. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shrek the Musical and Les Misérables.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream July 9th and 10th at 8p.m
Under the light of a magical midsummer moon, romance runs amok when prankster forest fairies meddle in the affairs of four young Athenians and a group of amateur actors. One of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, this lighthearted play celebrates the capricious, dream-like and sometimes silly nature of love and desire.
Shrek The Musical, Jr. July 16th-18th at 8pm
A hilarious and joyous musical, adapted for the stage from the popular Dreamworks’ animated film about a big green ogre who ventures out of his comfort zone to discover what beauty – inner beauty – really means, and finding true love in the process.
Directed and choreographed by Cheryl Baxter-Ratcliff and George Baxter-Ratcliff with Musical Direction by Billy Thompson.
Les Misérables August 12th-15th at 8pm
This epic, enthralling musical masterpiece, set just after the French Revolution, is an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. The thrilling score includes “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” and many more.
Directed by Kirby Ward with Musical Direction by Anthony Lucca
