In many ways The Tempest is a love letter to the power of the theatrical imagination.

Thought to be Shakespeare’s final play, it tells a fairy-tale like story of a man betrayed (in our case) by his sister. She attempted to murder him and his child in order to wrest control of Prospero’s dukedom. Instead, father and daughter are cast away on an island which is home to magical spirits and an orphaned child of a witch. There, Prospero hones his magical abilities, communes with the spirits, and raises Miranda. Through an act of fate, his sister and her confederates arrive on the island and Prospero is finally able to enact the revenge he has been plotting for 12 long years.

In many ways, the driving engine of the play is Prospero’s imaginative ability. Like a writer, he spins a narrative out of the facts of his life, one where he is cast as blameless, and where revenge is righteous. His imagination allows him to create terrible and wonderful visions for the other characters, and build a story arc for himself and those around him to make any first-year dramatic literature class proud. His imagination is both his path to freedom, and conversely what keeps him imprisoned in his self-destructive passion.

But as with all of Shakespeare’s great comedies, it is much more than a representation of one protagonist’s story. Numerous narrative threads interweave, and many characters find themselves on a hero’s journey, where they are embroiled in the single most dramatic event of their lives. But The Tempest takes this one step further. As the play with its glorious engine of imagination roars to its conclusion, one by one characters come up hard against the wall all of us crash headlong into at one point or another: they might be the lead of their own story, but so is everyone else. There is no hierarchy of drama in real life, with supporting players valiantly throwing focus to the lead. We are all bumbling, passion-wracked creatures, following our own inner stories. As the characters' beliefs about themselves crumble, they are thrown into new and unforeseen perceptions of reality. This last moment of trembling realization is the setting of what I find to be one of Shakespeare’s most moving final acts. As character after character gets their heart’s desire, the greatest act of imagination turns out to be one where we simply imagine for ourselves a different path.

After so long away from our audience, we wanted to share with you a play that celebrated the importance of community and human connection. The Tempest is also a play that touches on profound truths about the nature of reconciliation. At its heart, it speaks to Shakespeare’s belief that no matter how broken a relationship or how devastated a community, repair is possible. The most profound magic turns out to be forgiveness, both of others and ourselves. It will seem to be impossible at times, but as we wrestle with the challenges and complexities of forgiveness, we come to recognize that transformation is always possible. The most tempestuous seas will calm, even if for just a brief moment. We must make ourselves ready for the journey. The time will come to board the ship and sail into an uncertain future, one that we now realize we have been writing for ourselves all along. -Melissa Chalsma, Director WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL!

We really loved him. Webster, Rachel Weeda, Melissa Weinberger, Beverlee It was always a joy to see him and he was a Weinsoff, Tamiko Welch, Susan Wendelken, Mike & Sonja natural on stage. Most politicians share some Stein-Wendt, Carolyn Wessling and Peter Marks, Richard carefully chosen words but Tom would speak West, Katherine Whalen, Shannon Whalen, Airionna freestyle, riffing off the audience like a seasoned Whitaker, Erin White, J.B. White, Lisa White, Wayne comedian. It was always a joyride that would Wilderson, Allison Wilhite, Galen Williams, Roberto either open or close with a verse of Elvis' "Love Williams, Sabra Williams, Jane Wilson, Mark Corbett Me Tender" (which I think he might be singing in Wilson, Victoria Wilson, JessieAnna Wilton, Mary this picture). Tom was a class act. Witherell, Linda Wobbe, Gretchen Woelfle, Jennifer - David Melville Wolcott, Phillip Wolf, Juliet Wong, Leejone Wong, WWAANNTT TTOO TTAAKKEE UUSS HHOOMMEE??
