Barter Theatre continues its tradition of incredible spring Shakespeare, this time On Demand. 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.
