BMCC Theatre Department and the Opera House Shakespeare Company present Two Gentlemen of Verona.
One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, a youthful play by a youthful playwright featuring BMCC students, staff and members of the community, runs May 13th and 14th at 7:30 PM at the Bob Clapp Theatre on the BMCC Pendleton Campus.
“It’s all about what it means to be young, in love, and alive,” said Grant Turner, the production's director. “Think of it as Spring Break. Two young men (the title gents), best friends, leave Verona to explore the resort town of Milan. One is in love with a girl back home (who decides to follow him in disguise to keep an eye on him), the other is a confirmed bachelor (who has no time for women)! Well wouldn’t you know it, once arrived in Milan, the bachelor almost immediately falls for a girl, and the best friend, seeing his friend rave about his new obsession, decides to make a move on her as well! When his disguised girlfriend shows up, hijinks ensue...”
