Santa Clarita Shakespeare To Host Summer Theatre Festival At The MAIN

The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival is hosting its annual Summer Theatre Festival at the MAIN, featuring two play productions. 

Two productions are scheduled to run at the MAIN in downtown Newhall. “Enemy of the People” and “The Sandman” are set to run in rep, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening. 

Summer Theatre Festival

“This summer the festival has expanded to include two world premieres and the return of Shakespeare in the PARK,” said executive director David Stears. “We are very happy to continue this great tradition of summer theatre in our community.”

The annual festival kicked off this month with short, 15-minute musicals, and the annual opening night gala. 

The second part of the festival is set for August with an original musical and Shakespeare returning to the outdoors in Rivendale park in Towsley.

Enemy of the People

Adapted and directed by Luck Hari, “Enemy of the People” is a mix between political drama and domestic farce.  

“You would think the piece is a contemporary piece, and pulled from recent headlines,” said Hari. “Everything is up for debate: truth, facts, community well-being. Everyone gets skewered: the media, politicians, high-minded liberal thinkers, community activists”

The play is rated PG and family friendly, with performances placed for Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at 8 p.m.

The Sandman

The second production running at the same time as “Enemy of the People ” is “The Sandman,” a play geared for children in collaboration with Eclipse Theatre L.A. 

Written by Phil Lantis and directed by Nancy Lantis, the play is based on the fairytale Ole Lukøje by Hans Christian Anderson.  

“The Sandman brings dreams and stories to a young boy for seven nights. He is visited by great thinkers, small animals, large dolls, anything The Sandman can conjure,” said Santa Clarita Shakespeare. 

The performance is child friendly, rated G, and runs Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
