Dallas Theater Center and Ignite/Arts Dallas at Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts, in collaboration with AT&T Performing Arts Center and in affiliation with New York City-based The Public Theater’s Public Works, will present the inaugural production of Public Works Dallas’ The Tempest, a groundbreaking community engagement and participatory theater project designed to deliberately blur the line between professional artists and Dallas community members.
The 90-minute musical adaptation of The Tempest will feature 200 actors and community members, only five being professional actors. Mayor Mike Rawlings will have a cameo performance on March 3 and will be rotating the role of wedding officiant with Councilman Adam McGough, Councilman Adam Medrano, and Voice of the Dallas Cowboys, Brad Sham.
Written by William Shakespeare, The Tempest features adaptation, music, and new lyrics by Todd Almond. Marooned and left to die on a remote island, Prospero can command spirits, create apparitions and manipulate the elements. By using his magic, he assembles his enemies to take revenge on them, and in the process awakens in Miranda, his teenage daughter, her first experience of love.
Tickets are free to the public, two per person, and a limited number are available by phone at 214-880-0202 beginning January 25. In addition, tickets will be distributed onsite at each partnering community organization. A mobile box office will be distributing tickets at the following locations and dates:
