Event Description: In partnership with the Michigan Humanities Council’s Great Michigan Read program, the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will offer a program of scenes from multiple Shakespeare plays designed to tie in with Station Eleven, the 2015-2016 Great Michigan Read. Emily St. John Mandel’s novel features a touring Shakespeare company that travels through Michigan after a global flu epidemic, bringing art and culture into the lives of small communities of survivors. Like the companies of Shakespeare’s own time period, this troupe of actors does not rely on modern technology to create its performances. Rather it engages the imagination of its audiences, demonstrating the ways in which the arts allow people to retain their humanity and dignity in trying circumstances. Pigeon Creek’s program includes scenes from King Lear, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Henry V, and several other plays in a lively and audience-interactive performance. The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company is a touring professional company based in West Michigan. The company was founded in 1998 by Chicago area actor and director Frank Farrell, and a cast of actors from the West Michigan area. While the company started as a summer-only production company, it now produces 5 plays a year which tour to multiple venues within Michigan, and occasionally out of state. Pigeon Creek’s actors have a high level of training in using Shakespeare’s language, and a reputation for making the plays lively, accessible, and understandable. Brought to you through the generosity of the Friends of Hackley Library.
