Abstract:

The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival is based out of High Point. The festival began as a local production but the company has gained national renown. Actors come from all over the United States to join the company, in part because the festival's growing reputation and because they simply enjoy living and working in North Carolina. For the 1983 season the company is producing four plays: Shakespeare's “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” Moss Hart's “Light Up the Sky,” O'Neill's “Long Day's Journey into Night,” and Steinbeck's “Of Mice and Men.” Following the summer productions, the company will begin an autumn tour of “Othello.” \r\n\r\n
