The second event in the 2012-2013 Performing Arts Series season at Roanoke College will be on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 7:30 pm in Olin Theater. The Staunton-based American Shakespeare Company on Tour will present Shakespeare’s extravagant romantic comedy, “Love’s Labour’s Lost”.
In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the King of Navarre and his three school-mates are ripe for an education in love from the Princess of France and her three ladies. This joyful carnival of love, loss, and hope is Shakespeare’s most exuberant wordfest.
From Blackfriar’s Playhouse, the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, the American Shakespeare Center On Tour boasts nearly two decades worth of global touring experience. This elite troupe stands as one of America’s foremost providers of quality entertainment to performing and fine arts centers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Tickets are $12 general admission, $8 senior/student. Groups of 8 or more are $5. Tickets are available by calling the Olin Hall Box Office at 540-375-2333, or on-line at www.roanoke.edu/tickets.
