Start Time(s):

     Zero Point Theater’s new staging of Merchant of Venice, while essentially true to Shakespeare’s text, is set   against the background of a Jazz/Blues World during Prohibition, in a Venice very like (but not) New Orleans      Antonio, our Merchant of “Venus” (one of Shakespeare’s many puns), is a rumrunner whose understanding of love is sadly warped by his mercantile nature He so monetizes love that he risks his very life borrowing from Shylock to provide money to Bassanio, who he achingly loves but, under the strictures of society, he can never have He even gives the money to Bassanio to woo a woman      Portia, whose own father did not see her as capable to choose her own mate, is one of the most brilliant people around She cares little about her wealth, her beauty and her sexiness except as tools She so desperately wants to be respected for her mind, in a world in which only men can be, that she risks exposure and ridicule by disguising herself as a man to argue law in the bright spotlight of the Venetian Court      Shylock is a black woman who owns a Speakeasy Jazz Club, and a devout Jew She struggles under both the disrespect of her white Christian competitors, and the pain of the hard choices, unfair deprivations, and compromises in her values she made to get where she is In her desire to ensure her daughter Jessica a better life than she herself had, Shylock so represses and keeps Jessica cloistered at home that Jessica elopes with a Christian, and a lot of Shylock’s money Shylock’s dogged insistence on a literal enforcement of Antonio’s bond in order to gain the respect of the law backfires, and leads to the loss of all she holds dear      Zero Point’s production of Merchant will challenge the audience to recognize and re-think its own perspectives on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and the us versus them struggles which either bind us together in a sense of security, or expose us to biting and lonely pain, and at worst threaten our sense of personal identity and value]]>

  "Nicky Park Memorial Park" is the story of a girl who knows all about what she's going to know before she knows it Coming of age in a world of Judy Blume novels and widespread transgression, she tries to navigate selfhood while battling a deep obsession with a boy who no longer exists As we travel through her mind, her world, and her headphones, we learn what a ghost can be--and what to do with one if we find it Amid a soundtrack filled with confusion and yearning, Nicky Park Memorial Park sends an honest, unsparing love letter to the 1990's--professing devotion, but also demanding an explanation This world-premiere production is brought to Boston by the young writing/creative team that took New York by storm last summer with their electro-dance interpretation of Gertrude Stein's opus, "Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights" at the 3LD Center This production is directed by Abby Colella, and features Sami Horneff, Ned Riseley, and Ellie Shepley  ]]>

 by Israel Horovitz Directed by Robert Walsh Set in Gloucester, Massachusetts, North Shore Fish depicts the painfully real and funny way of life for the workers (mostly women) in a failing fish-processing plant The once-thriving plant which formerly processed the daily catch of the local fishing fleet, has been reduced to repacking frozen blocks of fish imported from Japan for TV dinners Tenacity, colorful irreverence and, ultimately, the fierce loyalty of a group of Gloucester assembly-line workers brand this Pulitzer Prize nominated comedic drama The ever-present challenges faced by Cape Anne’s fishing industry make Horovitz’s play as relevant as when it christened the current home of the Gloucester Stage Company in 1986 **Contains explicit language and is NOT suitable for children** Talk-back following Sunday, July 21 performance ‘A blue collar elegy, a tough, funny and eventually poignant look at the expendability of people when their jobs - and lives - become obsolete’ – ASSOCIATED PRESS ]]>

LAUGHING STOCK – August 7 – 18 A backstage farce by Charles Morey   A hilarious comedy and genuinely affectionate look into the world of the theatre When The Playhouse, a rustic New England summer theatre (any resemblance to the Peterborough Players is purely coincidental, of course), schedules a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet and Charley's Aunt, comic mayhem ensues We follow the well-intentioned but over-matched company from outrageous auditions, to ego-driven rehearsals, through opening nights gone disastrously awry, to the elation of a great play well told and the comic and nostalgic season close Chuck Morey, former Artistic Director of the Peterborough Players, (who directed last season’s The 39 Steps) returns to direct this big hit from the 2004 season   BOX OFFICE: (603) 924-7585 Hours: 10 am – 4 pm Monday-Friday Curtain times: 7PM Tues, 8PM Wed–Sat, and 4PM Sundays 2013 Single Ticket Prices: Saturday Evenings: $39, All Other Performances: $37   wwwpeterboroughplayersorg]]>
