The Collin Theatre Center continues our annual summer tradition of staging one of William Shakespeare's greatest plays.  A delightful family event that makes Shakespeare accessible to everyone!

This summer we will produce The Comedy of Errors.  This charming play tells the hilarious story of two sets of identical twins.  Aegeon of Syracuse has come to Ephesus to seek his son, who went in search of his missing twin and mother months ago.  Too bad that Ephesus has just declared war on Syracuse, and will instantly put to death any Syracusean found within their borders unless a ransom is paid.  Meanwhile, the son, Antipholus, and his servant, Dromio (also an identical twin), keep running into strangers who seem to know them.  A series of wild mishaps based on the mistaken identities leads to wrongful beatings, a near-incestuous seduction, an arrest, and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.  One of Shakespeare’s earliest and funniest plays!

Directed by Joanne Zipay, Artistic Director of the Judith Shakespeare Company in New York City.  June 19 – 29, 2008.  Black Box Theatre.
