Tercentenary Theater

May 4-7

STORY: You know the drill: boy meets girl, boy meets end, girl meets end. All are punish'd.

BUZZ: The closest thing you'll find to Shakespeare in the Park...in May...in Cambridge. The steps of Memorial Church (the traditional setting for Hyperion's spring productions) will be subbing in for fair Verona, so there won't be much room for elaborate sets. The look of the show will thus largely be determined by the costumes (designed by veteran costume guru Erin Billings), focusing the audience's attention on the actors and by extension on Shakespeare's language. Director Walsh says to expect a fair amount of audience involvement as well. A sure-fire star in this year's heavenly Arts First lineup.

STORY: For those of you who feel the need to return to those happy days of childhood, if only for a fleeting afternoon, Silly Marco is the show to see. It is the story of Marco, the youngest prince of Lirripipe, as he embarks on his quest to rescue the Princess Aurelia. However, Marco's two older brothers, Fluffiwellbarambamoregesundheit and Bob, are jealous because Marco received more birthday presents than they did, so they set out to foil Marco's quest at every turn. He befriends an assortment of delightful and helpful characters along the way and finally makes his way to the Princess, only to realize that she has already been rescued. Marco learns the importance of friendship and familial love and finds his true happiness in an unexpected place.
