CORIOLANUS
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Mallory Fisher

This production marks Artistic Director Mallory Fisher's directorial debut with the company, and will broaden the appeal of Shakespeare by re-examining one of his lesser known and infrequently staged plays—Coriolanus—in a contemporary context. Set in present-day Newfoundland, the production will underscore the play’s extant themes of corruption of power, instability of capitalism, desensitization to violence, and toxic masculinity to examine our current political and social zeitgeist.

Tickets: $25 (general admission), $20 (students, seniors, unwaged)

Events & Programs

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.

Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or call 709-757-8090.
