ksc THEATRE AND DANCE PERFORMANCES

Private Lives
by Noël Coward, directed by Ron SpanglerTuesday-Saturday, October 9-13, 7:30 p.m. • Wright Theatre
(2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. shows on the 13th)

A divorced couple find themselves on their honeymoons with their new spouses in
adjoining suites at the same French seaside hotel. Sparks fly, passions ignite, and they are deeply in lust and love once again, prompting them both to leave their respective spouses and escape to a hideaway in Paris, where their passion and knack for aggravating each other resurface in full force! Join us for the style, wit, and hilarity that are Coward’s trademark as we present his classic comedy of manners. 

Dracula
by Bram Stoker, adapted by Steven Dietz, directed by Daniel PattersonWednesday-Saturday, November 14-17, 7:30 p.m. • Main Theatre

This new stage adaptation restores the non-stop, heart-pounding suspense and
seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel. As Count Dracula moves to establish a new feeding ground in Victorian London, the heroic team led by the indomitable Professor Van Helsing try to unravel the mystery to save the city from a fate far worse than death. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of famous vampire. (Warning: due to the disturbing and often graphic nature of the action, this play is not recommended for children.)

The Tempest
by William Shakespeare, directed by PeggyRae JohnsonWednesday-Saturday, February 27–March 2, 7:30 p.m. • Main Theatre

Prospero, Duke of Milan, absorbed in studies of magic, is ousted by his brother
Antonio and lands with his lovely daughter Miranda on a deserted island. Years later, a tempest brings his old enemies near, and Prospero uses his magical arts to shipwreck them on his shore where he can deal with their treachery. This comedy/romance ensues with jesters and liquor, love and marriage, conspiracy, revenge, and reconciliation. See this year’s KSC Keene is Reading selection performed on stage.

An Evening of Dance, directed by Marcia MurdockWednesday-Saturday, April 10–13, 7:30 p.m. • Main Theatre

Now in its 37th year, this annual modern dance celebration of choreography and performance announces the arrival of spring with a series of new works choreographed by students, faculty members, and guest artists. Each piece in this concert will bring a new perspective that will inspire, enliven, and enrich its audiences with the honest beauty of dance.
