Previews for the New Village Arts Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Comedy Of Errors kicked off last night (February 8, 2012) and continue through Friday night, February 10, 2012.
The Ensemble is at it again, this time tackling Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors. Director Justin Lang and the creative team behind Comedy have a seriously funny take on this uproarious farce that’s all about mistaken identity. We have relocated Shakespeare’s most slapstick comedy to – where else? A 1950’s television studio in Hollywood. . . Comedy of Errors is kind of like “Wife-Swap”… but by accident… and with husbands… mixed in with I Love Lucy and Dick Van Dyke. It’s an evening of hilarious fun, done in a style that only the NVA Ensemble could pull off.
Pay what you want Thursday and Friday night (February 9-10, 2012). Opening night is Saturday, February 11, 2012. The New Village Arts Theatre is located at 2787 State Street in Carlsbad, California. To purchase tickets click here.
Guests will be treated to appetizers and desserts from Vintage Bistro and the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar as well as a selection of wine and drinks during the pre and post show receptions and be given a gift bag with gift certificates for all three stores!
If you’ve so far missed the New Village Arts production of Of Mice And Men then you still have a chance. The run has been extended for one more show on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 7 PM. Here’s what the San Diego Union-Trubune’s Janice Steinberg said about the production:
There are many fine evenings of theater, even quite a few terrific ones. Then there’s the rare, remarkable time when the magic of theater wraps around and utterly enthralls you. That’s the sorcery wrought by “Of Mice and Men,” which opened at the New Village Arts Theatre on Saturday.
Tickets are no longer available online, but can be purchased at the box office. New Village Arts Theatre is located at 2787 State Street in Carlsbadistan across the parking lot from the Carlsbad Coaster Station.
Written and directed by Jillian Porter and Sloane Herrick, the musical is the story about family and “what makes the heart. beat.”
