The Shakespeare Players of Rochester
A program of the Rochester Community Players
In 1994, RCP created the Shakespeare Players program as a program of the Rochester Community Players. The program was founded by Peter Scribner, and the first production was Twelfth Night, November 19, 1994. Through the summer of 2011, RCPO's Shakespeare Players has staged 34 Shakespeare productions. Each July, we stage a free Shakespeare at the Highland Park Bowl; indoor productions are staged at MuCCC.`
William Shakespeare’s MEASURE FOR MEASURE
The
story centers on the fate of Claudio, who is arrested by Lord Angelo, a
strict, moralistic judge. Angelo has decreed that there is too much
freedom in Vienna and takes it upon himself to rid the city of brothels
and unlawful sexual activity. Claudio is sentenced to death for having
pre-marital sex in order to serve as an example to the other Viennese
citizens. This production is set the Roaring Twenties, exploring the
prohibition-like governing of sexual morals.

Twelfth Night is a rousing tale of love, loss, and mistaken identity. The action follows shipwrecked Viola, who disguises herself as boy to enter into the service of the lovelorn Duke Orsino.
