Merchant of Venice
October 8, 2009
Hello all,
It is Steven here once again to let everyone know that we are in the middle of preparing for the Merchant of Venice with our actors learning all their lines, the set coming together and costumes being pulled. So, as you can see we are all busy here in the Theatre Department preparing for this show.
For those that don’t know the plot of Merchant of Venice, it revolves around a man by the name of Antonio who goes to a Jewish money lender by the name of Shylock to get a loan for his friend Bassanio, so that he is able to woo Portia who is under the rule that she can only marry the person who chooses the casket that has her image. Antonio in return for this loan has stated in a contract that he will give up a pound of his flesh from wherever Shylock chooses if he doesn’t repay the loan.
Merchant of Venice is running from November 18-21 at 7:30pm. If you would like tickets please call 585-8585 or e-mail theatre@waldorf.edu. Tickets are$8 for adults, $6 for students and seniors and $2 for Waldorf Students.
