The real story starts after the storm ends

Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, was exiled from his dukedom 12 years earlier as part of a power struggle with Prospero’s sister, Antonia. Now hungry for revenge, Prospero creates a storm with his sorcery to shipwreck his enemies and bring those who have wronged him to bear.

Will those that committed injustice be held to account? Grace, forgiveness, and love ultimately provide redemption in this funny and touching tale.

Returning LIVE! in Austin Gardens, Oak Park, IL

Performances at 167 Forest Ave in Oak Park, IL

Showtimes are 8 PM Thursday – Saturday, and 7 PM on Sundays.

General admission tickets are $35. Senior and student discounts are available, and children under 12 are free.

“Even though we chose this play long before Coronavirus and the murder of George Floyd changed our world so significantly, its themes of exile, injustice, the struggle for power, self-discovery and healing are all particularly resonant after the last year.

As people start to come out of their homes and find a new normal post-pandemic, we hope this will be particularly meaningful for those seeing it for the first time.”
