Shakespeare is thrilled to welcome back founding artistic director William
Finlay to direct <i>Cyrano</i>, a new
translation of Edmond Rostand’s <i>Cyrano de
Bergerac</i> by Michael Hollinger and adapted by Michael Hollinger and Aaron
Posner. <i>Cyrano</i> is the first
non-Shakespeare classical play to be performed by the company, and celebrates one
of theatre’s most memorable characters and a beloved and romantic story. This
will be the first play of Saratoga Shakespeare’s expanded three-week, two-production
Congress Park season. <i>Cyrano</i> will be
performed on the Alfred Z. Solomon Stage in historic Congress Park in the heart
of Saratoga Springs. The production opens on Tuesday, July 19<sup>th</sup> and
runs through Saturday, July 30<sup>th</sup>. Performances are at 6:00 PM
Tuesday through Saturday, and 3:00 PM on Sunday. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.25in;mso-pagination:

Shakespeare Company employs members of Actors’ Equity Association, the union of
professional actors and stage managers, as well as several very talented
non-union professionals, and members of their select internship program. Many
cast members will be featured in both summer productions. The excellent casts include some returning
company members and several new faces. The company is thrilled to welcome back
Wesley Broulik in the title role of <i>Cyrano</i>. Wesley was the hilarious Don Armado in last
summer’s production of <i>Love’s Labour’s
Lost</i>. He has performed off-Broadway and regionally, in television and in
feature films. Saratoga Shakespeare Company is thrilled to welcome a new cast
member, Wynn Harmon, with extensive credits on Broadway, off-Broadway, The
Kennedy Center, Glimmerglass Opera, and many regional theatre companies.
Returning professional cast members include several area favorites, including Associate
Artistic Director Tim Dugan, Yvonne Perry, John Romeo, and David Baecker.
Saratoga Shakespeare is proud to note that many of our Equity cast members are
also distinguished teachers at colleges and universities throughout the region
and country and serve as mentors to the company’s interns.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.25in;mso-pagination:
