By William Shakespeare
Adapted by Carrie Smith Lewis
April 8 to May 14

Barter Theatre continues its tradition of incredible spring Shakespeare, this time at the Moonlite Drive-In. The Tempest will take you on an adventure far away from everything you’ve ever known. As Prospero conjures a meeting with his enemy Antonio, he struggles between his desire for revenge and the power of forgiveness. Join us for an evening of magic and mischief on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
