Shakespeare's Associates - The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
"A Hilarious spoof" by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield.  Directed by Leslie Martinson
Experience all 37 of Shakespeare's Plays in 97 Minutes! An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, THE COMPLEAT WORKS... was London's longest-running comedy. Praised by the Los Angeles Times as "wildly funny" and by the Montreal Gazette as "the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime." Celebrate the inauguration of the new outdoor theater at the renowned Concannon Vineyard, just east of downtown Livermore. Assigned seating on the gently sloping lawn (chairs are provided) faces a sweeping tiered stage in front of an historic Victorian home; two levels of graceful porches and a classic cupola echo the multilevel playing areas of Shakespeare's theaters.
No-one uder 6 years old will be admitted.

Shakespeare's Associates - Twelfth Night
Directed by Lisa A. Tromovitch
Love, Song and Laughter heal all wounds in TWELFTH NIGHT, as heroines Viola and Olivia traverse Cupid's landscape. Though each mourns the loss of a brother, they tumble head-over-heels in love. Twins complicate the plot and some who were thought to be dead are returned. Clowns' high-jinx entertain, and musicians' songs console, as we tumble towards a reuniting of loves. Celebrate the inauguration of the new outdoor theater at the renowned Concannon Vineyard, just east of downtown Livermore. Assigned seating on the gently sloping lawn (chairs are provided) faces a sweeping tiered stage in front of an historic Victorian home. Two levels of graceful porches and a classic cupola echo the multilevel playing areas of Shakespeare's theaters. Scenic and costume designs for Twelfth Night will have a late Victorian/early Edwardian flair, enhanced by original music composed for the occasion.
No-one uder 6 years old will be admitted.

Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Headlined by Stars of Broadway and New York Stage. The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
