WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S “MEASURE FOR MEASURE”
OPENS MARCH 11 AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS

SCHENECTADY – William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, directed by Aaron Holbritter, opens Friday, March 11 and runs through Sunday, March 20 at Schenectady Civic Players’ 12 South Church Street playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.

The Duke of Vienna announces that he has been called away from the city and that he is leaving Lord Angelo to rule in his place with full authority. He disguises himself as a friar and observes the moral decay of his citizens. The play deals with issues of justice, morality, and mercy and their relationships to virtue and sin.

Measure for Measure is known to have been performed by Shakespeare's company at the Court of James I on December 26, 1604. It is generally presumed to have been written in the same year.

The Civic Player’s cast features Robin MacDuffie (as Duke Vincentio), John Sutton (as Escalus), Jean Carney (as Provost), Kasey Kenyon (as Elbow/Abhorson), Andrew Vroman (as Angelo), Sara Paupini (as Mariana), Laura Graver (as Isabella), Samuel Lawkins (as Claudio), Sierra Lynch (as Juliet), Ian LaChance (as Lucio), Rich Angehr (as The Friar), Jennifer Van Iderstyne (as Mistress Overdone), Richard Michael Roe (as Pompey), Bill Sanderson (as Froth), and Gene Sinotof (as Bernadine).

Measure for Measure runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday (March 11, 12, & 13) and Wednesday through Sunday (March 16 through 20). Wednesday and Thursday curtains are at 7:30 pm; Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm; and Sundays are matinees only at 2:30 pm.
