“I have heard (but not believ’d) the spirits of the dead / May walk again.”

Something wicked this way comes... Shakespeare’s characters have broken free of his pages and are haunting campus. In this immersive theatrical experience, you'll traverse the perimeter of the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre and face the most bloody, ghostly and ghastly characters from the Bard’s work.

“ShakesFear” is the 2022-23 Roe Green Production. The College of Arts and Sciences Department of Theatre & Dance is grateful to donor Roe Green. The Roe Green Visiting Theatre Artist fund allows them to invite professional guest artists to campus each year to work with students. The department welcomes Nebraska Repertory Theatre’s Andy Park and Jill Hibbard as this year's Roe Green Visiting Artists.

Due to renovations to the University and Loft Theaters, this production will be taking place in the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre.
