For five days next week, a professor, five alumni and two students from Western Connecticut State University will perform together as part of a CT Free Shakespeare (CFS) production.
From 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5, through Sunday, Aug. 9, the WCSU community members will show their skills in Pedro Calederon de la Barca’s light-hearted musical comedy “Mornings of April and May” at Bridgeport’s Beardsley Zoo. The outdoor performances are free and open to the public. It is recommended that attendees bring chairs and blankets.
LeRoy Walton, a recent WCSU graduate, is CFS’s resident production stage manager; set designer Liz Popiel is a professor at WCSU in the Theatre Arts Department; Lynette Marshall, also a recent graduate, will play the role of Lucia; Valarie Henry, a recent design/technology graduate, is the costume designer; and Kezia Waters, a senior musical theatre major, is the assistant stage manager.
The zoo is located at 1875 Noble Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut. For more information, email Leroy@ctfreeshakespeare.org or contact the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486.
