Houston Shakespeare Festival presents "The Tempest"

“O brave new world, That has such people in it!”

About the performance: "Exiled by her brother to a remote island and left to die, Prospera—the once loved Duchess of Milan and now an all-powerful sorceress—conjures a great tempest to wash ashore a ship of her enemies. With the power of magic, Prospera manipulates the survivors of the wreckage to weave a story of revenge, retribution, and reconciliation. Rich with spectacle, humor and wonder, Shakespeare's final play brings audiences to a 'brave new world' where reconciliation is possible and humanity is renewed.

"Nationally acclaimed director and Executive Director of HSF Sharon Ott joins HSF Veteran actors Laura Frye (Prospera), and Wesley Whitson (Ariel) to bring THE TEMPEST to HSF and the Miller Outdoor Theatre after a 20-year absence."

Houston Shakespeare Festival, the professional arm of the University of Houston’s School of Theatre & Dance, uses Shakespeare’s works to draw together our diverse community to explore our common humanity.

Produced by the UH School of Theatre & Dance and the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts.

WHERE TO MEET: We will meet at 7:30 p.m. by the picnic tables near the concession stand on the side closest to the stage door. We'll then go to the hill and set up. If you can't make it at 7:30, we'll hold some space. Look for our location in the comments. Look for our location in the comments. The concert starts at 8:30. p.m.

The hill is divided with the left side allowing chairs and the right reserved for blankets. We sit on the chair side, but we'll try to get space close to the center and front. People with blankets may have their views obstructed.

Drinks and snacks:
Adult beverages are allowed. The city prohibits glass containers in the park. (We don't check and the city never has objected to discreet wine bottles.) It's always more fun when people bring something to share.

Parking:
There are two main parking areas for Miller.
The Zoo lot has more spaces
Parking Lot F
