Creative Greensboro and Goodly Frame Theatre Present ‘Measure for Measure’ August 17-20

Creative Greensboro opens the 55th year of city drama productions with "Measure for Measure" by William Shakespeare. In partnership with Goodly Frame Theatre, this production will be presented at 7 pm, August 17-20, in the Greensboro Arboretum, 3299 Starmount Dr. American Sign Language interpretation will be available at the August 19 performance. All performances are free to attend with donations accepted to continue our Summer Shakespeare program. To attend, register at the Creative Greensboro website.

"Measure for Measure"will be performed outdoors in various locations throughout the Greensboro Arboretum. Actors and audiences will travel together to discover why "Measure for Measure" is one of Shakespeare's most argued over plays. The performance will be accessible regardless of mobility needs. For those who have trouble standing for extended periods of time, a light travel chair is recommended. Wear breathable fabrics, bring water, sunscreen and bug repellent to make this unique site-specific performance enjoyable.

"I want to find unique and interesting ways to stage productions utilizing different buildings and the various parks Greensboro has. The first time I walked into the Greensboro Arboretum, I thought it was a beautiful place to stage different scenes for this play," says artistic director for Goodly Frame Theare David Sebren.

Goodly Frame Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. By rediscovering and redefining the boundaries of performing Shakespeare, it encourages sustainable dialogues among the voices of Greensboro, the region, and across "this goodly frame," the earth.
