Teen Company Takes on Shakespeare with Summer Stock Production of Cymbeline

This summer, the Teen Company will embrace the classic theatrical tradition of summer stock—a fast-paced rehearsal and performance model that challenges young actors to prepare a show in a matter of weeks. Their chosen production: a shortened adaptation of Cymbeline, one of William Shakespeare’s late romances.

Cymbeline tells the story of Princess Imogen, a sharp and spirited young woman caught in a web of royal deceit. Forbidden to marry her true love, the humble Posthumus, she faces betrayal, banishment, and disguise. As she escapes into the wilderness, she encounters rustic strangers, dangerous plots, and revelations that turn everything on its head. The play features an evil queen, a foolish stepson, and King Cymbeline himself, striving to do what is right amidst the chaos.

The production is directed by Brady Amoonclark, and showcases a cast of dedicated teen performers who will bring this Shakespearean tale to life after just two weeks of intensive rehearsal.

The performance will take place on Thursday, August 29 at 7:00 PM at Antrim Playhouse in Tappan, New York. The public is invited to attend and experience the creativity and passion of these young artists.
