Saturday, August 1, 8:00 p.m. – North by Northwest at Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre (TICKETS ON SALE NOW)
Direct from England, theatre legend Emma Rice brings to the Globe her inventive take on the Alfred Hitchcock classic North by Northwest in a production hailed as “an undoubted triumph” (WhatsOnStage). When ad man Roger Thornhill is mistaken for a Cold War spy, he goes on the run dodging airplanes, bad guys and a femme fatale who may not be what she seems. With seven shape-shifting performers, a swinging ‘50s soundtrack, and the iconic backdrop of Mount Rushmore, Rice transforms the beloved thriller into a riotously funny high-speed theatrical ride.
Saturday, August 29, 8:00 p.m. – Much Ado About Nothing in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre (TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE IN LATE JULY)
Love, laughter, and mischief take center stage in one of the greatest romantic comedies ever written. Everyone can see that headstrong Beatrice and confirmed bachelor Benedick are perfect for each other—except Beatrice and Benedick! Their friends set out to bring them together, and soon elaborate schemes, false accusations, mistaken identities, and even a bumbling police force tangle in one of The Bard’s most beguiling theatrical delights. Celebrated Shakespeare director Barry Edelstein returns to the outdoor stage with this fast-paced, witty production full of colorful characters, brilliant wordplay, and genuine heart.
If you’d like to pay for your tickets using your credit card, please call the MEA office at 619-264-6632. Tickets for the first performance must be picked up by Wednesday, July 30th.
