“We are thrilled to be opening our 26th season with two beloved comedies! Much Ado About Nothing will take place inside the Cultural Arts Theatre, where audiences will sit on the stage, in the round, right up close and personal with the actors. We are also revisiting an old favorite, as we produce The Comedy of Errors with a Pirate theme, and that production will be staged outside in the garden, behind the theatre, where so many of our previous seasons have been performed. Always, our productions are free and open to the public! Therefore, join us for the 26th season of the Rockland Shakespeare Company as we continue to celebrate the Bard with this fun and exciting line-up of shows!” – Christopher Plummer, Director – Cultural Arts Theatre, Rockland Community College; Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Director – Rockland Shakespeare Company; Certified Teacher/Advanced Actor-Combatant – Society of American Fight Directors.

Penguin Rep Theatre will present the world premiere of Take Me America, a powerful new musical exploring the hopes, dreams, and challenges of the American immigration experience, running August 14 through September 6.

Written by Neil Berg (music and additional lyrics) and Bill Nabel (book and lyrics), the production is set in 2015 and follows Gary Campbell, an immigration official on his very first day on the job.

As Gary meets with individuals seeking a new life in the United States, he is confronted with deeply personal stories of sacrifice, heartbreak, resilience, and hope. Throughout the musical, he must make life-changing decisions that will determine the futures of those standing before him.

Blending an emotional story with an original score, Take Me America offers audiences a timely and thought-provoking look at the human side of immigration while celebrating the courage and determination of those pursuing the American dream.
