The season also includes King Lear (beginning June 21), directed by James Edmondson of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) by Jess Borgeson, Adam Long, and Daniel Singer, directed by Melissa Rain Anderson, beginning June 28.
The festival is also bringing author/director West Hyler, Kleban Award-winning composer Matt Schatz, and Jack Herrick of the Red Clay Ramblers to Winona for a week-long workshop of their new four-actor musical, Georama. The workshop will culminate with a public reading on July 29.
