The Tempest, according to SSC, "is a world of illusion and magic. Seeking resolution to some of the wrongs in his life, Prospero conjures both people and memories from his past to an enchanted island. Using his powers to wreak revenge, he manipulates both spirits and humans in his last quest, but ultimately discovers that love and forgiveness work the most potent magic of all."

The production will have set and projection design by L.B. Morse, costume design by Doris Black, lighting design by Roberta Russell, sound design by Robertson Witmer and original music by Jesse Sykes and Phil Wandscher.
