Tickets $75 for Nobles (includes Banquet, Lecture/Discussion & Preferred Seating)/ $5 for Show only


A Renaissance is coming to Nelson County theater with the first ever Nelson County Shakespeare Festival production of Shakespeare’s RICHARD III. Using Elizabethan rehearsal practices like memorizing all your lines by the first rehearsal, actor-manager (another Elizabethan practice), Mary Coy is organizing a production of RICHARD III that takes advantage of the theater energy generated by the Hamner Theater and her six years work as Shakespeare consultant at the Nelson Middle School.

“RICHARD III is about the lengths one man will go to obtain and maintain power,” says Coy, Richard manipulates his friends, the church, and the public to get what he wants. He will stop at nothing. It will be interesting to see how much the audience is repelled by or attracted to him.”

Besides years of experience acting and coaching Shakespeare, Coy has a Masters of Fine Arts in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance from Mary Baldwin College and has worked as assistant director and stage manager at the Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton. Along with Nelson County Schools Gifted Coordinator Betty Tabony, Coy has written a manual, which guides teachers in using Shakespeare to fulfill SOL’s and has taught Shakespeare to hundreds of Nelson County sixth graders. She and Tabony recently co-authored a young people’s version of KING LEAR for Swan Books.

“Performing Shakespeare is a challenge and I want to embark on that challenge here in the county with the adults and kids I’ve worked with over the years, people who know how much I love to teach and perform, people who want to challenge themselves.” says Coy.

Performances will be held at the Hamner Theater from February 11-21. There will also be one special banquet/performance in the Rockfish Valley Community Center “Great Hall” on Saturday, February 14.

Poe & All That Jazz - Now at Live Arts!

Written & directed by Peter Coy

"What a night! I was blown away by Poe. The juxtaposition of his words and the music was just great in my estimation. Cobb was Poe! Finn did a great job jumping from one woman to another and belting out the songs. If I were rich I would have Bennetta and Ryan play for me one afternoon a week just for my pleasure. Thanks for an exquisite evening. "

Someone tells a story or moment from their life, chooses actors to play the different roles, and then watches as their story is immediately recreated and given artistic shape. Many artistic variations are possible within the structure and rhythm of a performance event.

Scene Study, with Mary Coy

You want to stretch those acting muscles but don't have the time to commit to a full-length production!

You've always wanted to give acting a try but are afraid to audition?

You're looking for a fun way to exercise mind, body and spirit while meeting new people!

Scene study is a challenging and creative way to do all of the above. Each week you and a partner (to be chosen in class) will present a scene from a play of your choice - or the teacher's - to the rest of the class.

Through improv games, acting exercises and simple play, you will learn (or review) basic acting skills and learn a lot about yourself in the process.

Join us on Sunday evenings, 4 - 7pm starting March 2.
4 class minimum; $20.00/class/$80.00 session.
Financial aid available.
Please call 361-1999 for information and details.

Start: 6:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm
