Third Year BFA Actors Welcome You to the Isle dell’ Arte in their Commedia dell’Arte Show!
Every year, the third-year BFA Acting class of UBC Theatre and Film, under the guidance of Susan Bertoia, study the 16th-century Italian theatre tradition of Commedia dell’Arte!
This year they bring you to the Island of The Tempest, as the characters of the classic Shakespeare play, encounter the shipwrecked members of the hit 1960s sitcom Gilligan’s Island. Will the crew ever manage to escape the Island madness? Can The Tempest Island Inhabitants find a way to keep their Island theirs? How does one combine Shakespeare with sixties sitcoms anyway?
This show is free of cost but has limited seating, so keep your arms and legs inside the boat at all times and join them for the ride!
