Audience Will Enjoy This Adaptation
Of a Classic Comedy

This summer CSE is again hosting the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey as it continues its extraordinarily popular annual summer tradition of family theatre “under-the-stars” with a new translation/adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s hilarious comedy The Servant of Two Masters. This new translation and adaptation of the “Moliere of Italy’s” popular comedy, which opened June 23, will delight audiences of all ages.

The performances are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday through August 1, 2010, at 8:15 p.m., at the outdoor Greek theatre on the campus. This replica of an ancient Greek theatre nestled into the hillside on the campus offers a theatrical event unique on the East Coast. The beautiful grass-and-stone amphitheatre – inspired by the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens, and one of the only theatres of its kind in the United States – debuted as The Shakespeare Theatre’s Outdoor Stage in 2002.

Tickets are $32 for adults and $17 for ages 17 and under. For tickets or more information, call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org. Patrons may also purchase ticket packages for additional discounts. Groups of 10 or more are eligible for group discounts.

Patrons are invited to picnic before and during the performance on the lawn. Audience members may bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages. They can bring a blanket or low beach chair, or rent a stadium seat for $3. Complimentary hand-held fans will be provided courtesy of Air Group Heating and Air Conditioning Co., while supplies last. Seating is general admission.
