La Tempestad by William Shakespeare, adapted and directed by Beatrice Casagrán

Knight of the Burning Pestle by Francis Beaumont directed by Caitlin Lopez
A group of thespians present a romantic play about star-crossed lovers… well… they would if the audience would just shut up. A rowdy grocer and his wife demand a different play starring their apprentice. The company must now perform two plays: the romance, and an improvised chivalric adventure complete with knights, giants, and sick dance moves.
