Malverne Community Theatre performing Shakespeare at Crossroads Farm

Posted

“Et tu, Brute?” The Malverne Community Theatre company will be performing “Julius Caesar” during their annual Shakespeare at the Farm event at the end of June.

“I’ve always guided this with the mission that we’re going to do theater in a unique and creative way. We try to keep it artistic and fun,” David Coonan, artistic director and president of the Malverne Community Theatre, said. Coonan, a Malverne native, revived the non-profit theatre in 2012 to “add to the artistic and theatrical landscape of Malverne and the surrounding communities.”

MCT will be performing Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” this summer. The tragedy is based on real historical events that led to the assassination of Julius Caesar.

This year, the play will take place outdoors, with actors performing on a stage, with lighting and microphones. They will also interact with the crowd and used the audience in their performance. Taking the stage outdoors allows for a larger crowd to attend, after all three shows sold out last year.

Shakespeare at the Farm will have performance at Crossroads Farm on June 27 at 8:30 p.m., June 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. To buy tickets, visit www.malvernetheatre.org.
