See Outrageous Fortune Feb. 13 to 15, 2015 at the Old Walkerville Theatre



Outrageous Fortune


By Rebecca Salomonsson
Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc.


Directed by Amber Milne and Kaylee Cabrera


February 13  at 7 p.m., February 14 & 15 at 1 p.m.


***SCHOOL and Community Group PERFORMANCE Friday, February 13th at 10 a.m. - by special booking only, $5/seat***


The Olde Walkerville Theatre, 1564 Wyandotte St. East., Windsor


Box office 519-253-2929


Tickets:  $15/adults, $8/students - general admission seating.


Riverfront Theatre Company's Senior Ensemble Presents Outrageous Fortune, a Shakespeare-inspired comedy in which Shakespeare's tragic characters are taking part in a group therapy to remedy the wrongs perpetrated on them in their own plays.

Laugh along as rebellion bursts out between the cast members of Hamlet, King Lear, Richard III, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and the Tempest. The characters wrestle with one another (sometimes literally!) and with their own actions in the play, trying to place the blame on their Fatal Flaws - who are personified in this zany bunch of drama kings and queens!

Some of them even get the idea that they might be able to avoid their fates by changing their stories. Can they alter their destinies? Should they? What happens when they confront their Fatal Flaws, and the villains who have acted against them? 



 "A wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for young audiences, and a hilarious re-visitation of familiar plays for lifelong lovers of the Bard!" 


Riverfront Theatre Company is a not-for-profit youth theatre company now in its 12th season. They are a branch of the Youth Connection Association for Academic Excellence, and Hope4Youth Inc.
