SUMMER SEASON
The Tempest
Adapted & Directed by Matthew Graham Smith
Forest Meadows Amphitheatre
Matthew Graham Smith adapts and directs Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a powerful exploration of second chances and the choices that shape new beginnings.On a mysterious island where magic and humanity intertwine, Prospero conjures a storm that shipwrecks old enemies, compelling everyone to confront past resentments and reimagine their futures. The story weaves themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the delicate balance of power, daring us to consider: can we truly make amends with the past and embrace the promise of transformation? Featuring Bay Area favorite Stacy Ross as Prospero, this bold reimagining breathes fresh life into Shakespeare’s timeless meditation on what it means to forgive and be forgiven.
