Alabama A&M University‘s Bulldog Bards bring the third annual Bard in the Yard to The Artist Meadow at The Orion Amphitheater on Thursday, September 26 with FREE shows at 10 AM, 12 PM, and 6 PM.
AAMU’s Bulldog Bards in the Yard production of The Tempest is a family-friendly 45-minute version on William Shakespeare’s final play. Original music using Shakespeare’s words has been written and arranged by the AAMU student cast. Our cast is led by AAMU and Oakwood Professor Dr. Willette Tate, in the role of Prospera. Dr. Tate is also an artist in residence at Lowe Mill.
A synopsis: Prospera uses magic to conjure a storm to create a shipwreck using the powers of her spirit-servant Ariel to torment her family and a band of traitors who banished Prospera from her country 12 years ago. Prospera’s servant, Caliban, plots to have Prospera killed but his plot is thwarted by the ever-powerful spirit, Ariel. The play is about finding and giving forgiveness and the desire for power…with a sweet love story thrown in too!
This event is free and family-friendly and the runtime for the performances is 45 minutes.
