The Rubber City Shakespeare Company has opened its summer repertory season
featuring William Shakespeare’s *Much Ado About Nothing* (directed by Dane
CT Leasure) and *Romeo and Juliet* (directed by Kelly Elliott). Both
productions are sponsored by The University of Akron’s College of Education.



The company of 12 college and professional actors will perform both shows
in true rotating repertory, presenting a different show every other night
beginning June 25. Employing early modern staging conditions such as
universal lighting, the actors and audience share the same light, a
technique that allows the actors to engage directly with the audience and
is similar to how Shakespeare’s company performed.  Rubber City also
practices cross-gendered casting, with women playing men’s roles and vice
versa, as well as re-gendering characters from male to female, allowing
women to play females in early modern plays.



 The repertory runs Thursday through Sunday until July 13, with no
performance on July 4. All evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and
Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors
and students (14+), and $8 for youth (7-13).


*Order tickets online at:**www.rubbercityshakes.com

before show time at the door. *


*All performances will be on the University of Akron’s campus in Schrank
Hall South Auditorium located at 240 Carroll Street*.
