Robert F. Kennedy performed by Jeremy Meier

When one hears the name Kennedy, most think of JFK or maybe even Jackie. But it was serious young Bobby Kennedy who faced off with Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters during the Rackets Committee hearings of the late fifties and who during the Cuban Missile Crisis possessed a dissenting voice to which the President was open to listen.

When we think of the 60’s, we hear his brother, JFK’s challenge: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

RFK took up that gauntlet. He was 36 when he became the US Attorney General. At 40 he was elected US Senator and soon started his Presidential campaign. At 42 he was assassinated. What might have been had he finished the race?

“For of those to whom much is given much is required.”

The 26th Annual Upstate Shakespeare Festival: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Jun 18 @ 7:00 pm
Falls Park

The 26th Annual Upstate Shakespeare Festival will feature MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING from May 26th to June 26th, 2022.  OTHELLO will soon follow premiering on July 14th until July 31st, 2022.

While many people might associate Shakespeare with high school English class, his works are true classics that help us understand different cultures, different people, and different times. In fact, it’s been said that Shakespeare was ‘not of an age, but for all time.’ Now, more than 400 years after his death, that statement still rings true.

Knowing that many people don’t seek out Shakespearean plays, we sought to bring Shakespeare to the people in a fun, educational, free, and accessible way. The Warehouse Theatre put on our first ever Upstate Shakespeare Festival back in 1995. Since then, it has truly become a Greenville Tradition.

 

The Upstate Shakespeare Festival takes place each summer. Usually one show runs from May to June and another from June to July. Shows begin at 7:00pm (arrive early to get a spot!) and run Thursday through Sunday each week during the run of shows.

Jun 18 @ 8:00 pm
The Warehouse Theatre

Every estranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas homestead to settle the accounts of their newly-dead patriarch. As his three adult children sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, they collide over clutter, debt, and a contentious family history. But after a disturbing discovery surfaces among their father’s possessions, the reunion takes a turn for the explosive and unleashes crackling surprises, gut-punching honesty, and uproarious confrontations.

Houdini performed by Larry Bounds

Harry Houdini, from his birth to his death, led a life of mystery and controversy.

He was a world renowned magician, an escape artist, an author, and an avid collector and historian. He was a pioneering filmmaker and aviator.

He debunked con men and fake mediums who used magician’s tricks to cheat the public and was the frequent subject of their death threats. He trained police officers in improved restraint techniques and wrote a guide for surviving mine collapses.

Nearly a hundred years since his untimely death, Ehrich Weiss, as Houdini, remains the most famous magician in history.

Dwight Eisenhower performed by Doug Mishler

The Eisenhower presidency led the nation through both the darkest years of the Cold War as well as the Red Scare fanaticism of Joseph McCarthy, the rapidly escalating Civil Rights Movement and the burgeoning military industrial complex.

But before Eisenhower was a President, he was a General – not just any General but the Supreme Commander of the polyglot Allied forces.

And before World War II could end, he’d have bring together the land, air and sea forces of the coordinated efforts of 12 nations in what became known as the largest invasion force in human history. He’d have to maintain control of national egos, his own temper, supply chains and even the weather.

Failure was not an option.

 Opening music:  Swing a la King (J. Michael)  J. Michael King 

Rain site: In the case of inclement weather, the show will be shown virtually. A link will be posted on the homepage of this website to view the show and participate in Q/A at the original time and date of the show.
