Women Beware Women is what you'd get if you gave John Hughes and Quentin Tarantino the outline of Othello and told them to do whatever they wanted from there.
And it's at Madison's Bartell Theatre, for six performances only.

Identical twins drive The Comedy of Errors opening July 18. According to the National Library of Medicine we still don’t know why “monozygotic” (MZ) twins happen!
"Most of the time, the cause of MZ twinning is unknown," writes the NLM's MedlinePlus.

You haven't seen Donavon Armbruster in a MSC production since All's Well That Ends Well but he was heard in Much Ado, Twelfth Night, and The Blue Comet. In Henry V, he flows in and out of characters on both the English and French side of the conflict.
