Dates Chosen for Next Year's Rose Performances!
By Katherine E. Mayberry | Project Leader
To all of our contributors, thank you for your support of our ongoing partnership with Blue Lake Public Radio to offer performances in the beautiful Rose Theater, a reconstruction of an early modern outdoor playhouse at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.
Our summer 2018 performances included Much Ado About Nothing in the spring, and Henry V at the end of August. Both plays were very well received, and Much Ado About Nothing was featured as part of the Shakespeare Canon project on the Shakespeariences blog. You can read all about it at http://www.shakespeareances.com/ShakespeareCanon.html#MuchAdo. We were thrilled to be part of this wide-reaching project by the blog's author, Eric Minton, who is attending performances of all of Shakespeare's plays within a year.
In the summer of 2019, we will perform at the Rose on June 1 and August 24. Play titles will be announced before the end of this year.
Thank you again for all of your support as we strive to bring excellent classical theatre to our local and regional audiences!

Next Rose Performance is August 25!
By Katherine Mayberry | Project Leader
Thank you so much to all of the supporters of our ongoing performances in the Rose Theater at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Our next performance will take place on August 25 at 2:00 p.m.. This will be a remount of our 2017 production of Shakespeare's Henry V, with a script adaptation by actor Paul Riopelle, who also returns in the role of Henry.
We are thrilled to bring this production to audiences from West Michigan and beyond, and continually grateful that we get to perform in this rare reconstruction of an Elizabethan playhouse. We appreciate your commitment to bringing these performance opportunities to our regional audiences. Ticket proceeds from our performances go to support Blue Lake Public Radio.
For the first time this year, we will also be instituting a Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company scholarship for one area middle school or high school student to attend the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp as a Shakespeare major. Campers who take the Shakespeare major have the chance to perform in the Rose as the culmination of their camp experience.
We hope to see you at the Rose in August!

We Hope to See You at the Rose!
By Katherine Mayberry | Project Leader
We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed to our ongoing performances at the Rose, a reconstruction of an early modern playhouse at the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. We are so lucky to have this beautiful playing space right in West Michigan, and one of the highlights of our season is getting to share Shakespeare's plays with our regional audiences in this space.
Our summer 2018 Rose performances are June 2, with Much Ado About Nothing, and August 25, with Henry V. Our actors and directors are starting preparations to re-mount these productions in the Rose space. Tickets are now available for these performances at www.bluelake.eventbrite.com.
We will also be joined at these performances by Eric Minton, who writes and edits the Shakespeariences blog, in which he chronicles his travels across the country viewing productions of Shakespeare's plays. During 2018, Eric will travel across the United States and see performances of every one of Shakespeare's plays. We are proud that our Rose performances will be part of this extremely exciting project.
Thank you again for continuing to make these performances possible. To hear more about this year's Rose performances, tune in to Blue Lake Public Radio (www.bluelake.org) to hear Pigeon Creek Executive Director Katherine Mayberry discuss the Rose performances!
