The Newtowne Players present
The 24-hour Project
August 4, 2019

One night to write…one day to play.  The clock starts ticking when the playwrights’ fingers hit their keyboards and ends with a final bow. The 24-Hour Project invites audiences to enjoy a collection of brand new one-act plays written, directed and performed within 24 hours! After the kick-off event, playwrights will have 12 hours to compose an original 10-minute play that the directors and actors will have 12 hours to rehearse and produce. At 8:00 p.m. – it’s show time!
Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and are held outdoors at Historic St. Mary's City by the State House. ​

Julius Caesar
August 9-17, 2019

Directed by: Aaron Meisinger
Asst. Director: Megan Rankin Herring
Adaptation by: Jenny Meisinger
​Produced by: Stacey Park
Julius Caesar has returned to Rome triumphant from the war against Roman General Pompey. The Roman republic is prepared to heap him with new honors, causing concern and dismay among some senators who fear that too much power is held by one man.  Caius Cassius plots a conspiracy to murder Caesar, enlisting the support of the well-respected Marcus Brutus who has misgivings but is finally persuaded that Caesar's death is necessary for the good of the republic.
The tragedy of Julius Caesar is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history. Although the play is named Julius Caesar, the central drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism and friendship. ​

​Shakespeare in the City is a collaboration between Historic St. Mary’s City and The Newtowne Players. 
Performances will take place under a tent if it rains. Chairs are available to rent and bug repellent is available for purchase. Food and beverage service is available. No outside alcohol allowed. ​
