Green Theatre Collective, Season 2012, will be presenting
 William Shakespeare's great romance
 The Tempest on the South Fork of Long Island this summer.

Sylvester Manor, Shelter Island, NY
July 14 and 15, 2012

Quail Hill Farm, Amagansett, NY
July 18 - 22, 2012

The Tempest is a play about  Duke Prospero, a powerful magician, and his young daughter who are shipwrecked on a remote island by his enemies.  His enemies unwittingly have come within the reach of his magic, and will be shipwrecked themselves. 
The Tempest is a tale of revenge, redemption, betray and greed, as well as innocent love and selfless generosity.  

Laughter, mystery and magic will be told by six actors with music, dance,
 daring and passion - don't miss it!

"If you have a theatrical production, and you take away the costumes, the props, the set, the sound and lighting, and the stage, what are you left with? This is not a trick question. As logic would have it, you’re left with the actors and the ground beneath their feet, a particular story to tell and the people who have come to hear it. For New York’s Green Theatre Collective, these core ingredients are enough.

The Green Theatre Collective, one of the country’s first eco-theatre companies, champions this sort of threadbare minimalism, setting its performances in unadorned outdoor venues so that the natural environment becomes an integral aspect of the audience’s experience."

The Sag Harbor Express
Shakespeare in the Raw
By Annette Hinkle

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” — so wrote William Shakespeare in “As You Like It,” his pastoral comedy of love and mistaken identity in the forest primeval. But while the Bard was probably thinking of the world as a theatrical place in the rhetorical sense, the Green Theatre Collective is taking that phrase to a whole new level.

And it’s doing so right here on the East End.

For Green Theatre Collective (GTC), all the world literally is the stage — one where fields and orchards provide the backdrop and the fly space is nothing more than the blue sky overhead."

Sarah Hankins, the Artistic Director for Green Theatre Collective (GTC) and Hal Fickett, GTC's Executive Director and Producer, team up again this year for Green Theatre Collective's 2012 sustainable, eco production of The Tempest.

The Tempest is a play about  Duke Prospero, a powerful magician, and his young daughter who are shipwrecked on a remote island by his enemies.  His enemies unwittingly have come within the reach of his magic, and will be shipwrecked themselves.

The Tempest is a tale of revenge, redemption, betray and greed, as well as innocent love and selfless generosity.  Laughter, mystery and magic will be told by six actors with music, dance, daring and passion.

We need your support to make Green Theatre Collective's 2012 production of 
The Tempest a reality. To learn how to support GTC's summer production of
