Set in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is key, and saving the world is still a possibility, the new version of William Shakespeare's Henry V that has evolved from a seven-month workshop with 12 actors, ages 10-14, remains both one of the great tragic works of all time, and a true test for young actors. The first New Genesis Productions (of West Shokan) work to be performed at the STS Theater, on Church Street in Phoenicia, unfolds at 7:00 PM on Friday, April 16 and Saturday, April 17, and 3:00 PM on Sunday, April 18. Call 657-5867 or visit www.newgenesisproductions.org for more information...
