Artistic Director, Terry LaCasse, takes on arguably Shakespeare’s most ambitious work and delves into the mind of an aging king, betrayed by his daughters, grappling with insanity, and cast into a tumultuous dreamscape. Michael Barbour takes on the title role with an elite cast around him. This show is brought to you by Café Kubal, The Lincklaen House, Scolaro, Shulman, Cohen, Fetter & Burstein P.C., and Empower Federal Credit Union.

“CNY Shakespeare is growing faster than we ever expected.” says Artistic Director, Terry LaCasse. “Lear is going to take audiences for a ride we hope they’ll never forget. The bar has been set high for us and we have to consistently raise it. We have a team of professionals who are up to the challenge. This isn’t going to be parachute pants and powdered wigs. I’m focusing on real people with real desires and gruesome hardships. We’ve all been victims of time and we’ve all watched loved ones grow old- everyone can connect with this story. You should come and check it out!” LaCasse said with a laugh. “What have you got to lose?!”Production dates: Fridays and Saturdays, June 8th -23rd at the Catherine Cummings Theatre in Cazenovia at 8:00pm.

One weekend only!!Director, Matt Chiorini and his elite cast tackle this hour long adaptation filled with love, lust and loss.

Syracuse, New York, Apr. 18th, 2012– CNY Shakespeare, Central New York’s only pay-what-you-can professional Shakespeare Company, presents Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters on May 3 and 4 at 7:00 p.m., and May 6 at 2:00 p.m., at Le Moyne College. After rave reviews and award nominations from his work on Henry Vx7, Matt Chiorini directs his original and fast-paced adaptation.The Three Sisters- This compelling adaptation invites us into the lives of the Prosorov sisters after their father’s death. Chiorini’s cutting and sharp direction take a fresh twist on the Russian classic, providing an entertaining and poignant theater experience accessible to everyone.“Three Sisters’ is the masterpiece of one of the world’s greatest playwrights,” said Chiorini. “By condensing it and stripping it down to its bare bones, we hope to really heighten the immediacy and intimacy of the story, so that the writing and acting can shine through. It’s one of those shows that everyone should experience at some point in their life,” the director said.

There is limited seating available. Please call ahead to make your reservations at the LeMoyne Box Office 315-445-4523. As always, tickets are pay-what-you-can.
