Spring-Ford Community Theater Does the Bard

Spring-Ford Community Theater will present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) as its 2013 capstone production. 

Described as "three guys, one dead playwright, and 37 plays, all in under two hours," the show stars actors Drew Carr, Paul Johnson and Mario Dolenti.

"[They] mix pratfalls, puns, clunky female impersonations, clean-cut ribaldry, and broad burlesque in an effort to present the entire works of William Shakespeare in one evening of laugh-out-loud fun," said Janice Johnson, the play's producer.

The rest of the team are director Bonnie Fetterolf, student intern Jason Marcus and crew members Tameka Sadler, Paulina Portela and Sarah Johnson.

Spring-Ford Community Theater is a local theater organization for students from grades 8-12 from Spring-Ford and surrounding districts. Students can take part in all phases of a theater production, from acting and directing to technical work and set construction.

In recent years, SFCT has done productions of Laramie (the 2012 capstone), The Man Who Came to Dinner, Witness for the Prosecution, A Doll's House and many others. 

They are currently wrapping up a production of The Mouse that Roared, which has two more shows on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the 8th Grade Center.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) debuts May 9, with additional shows on May 10, 11, 16 and 18. 

Tickets are available through cast or crew members for $8 or for $10 at the door.
