Group Four: The Acting Company: “The Comedy of Errors” - Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012 at 3 p.m. in Sinclair Auditorium 

"For nearly 40 years, The Acting Company has been one of the most respected and praised touring repertory theaters in America.  At Coe, The Acting Company will present William Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors,” directed by Ian Belknap.  One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, “The Comedy of Errors” is also his shortest and one of his most farcical — a major part of the humor derived from slapstick, puns and wordplay. The story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth involves a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities leading to wrongful attacks, a near-seduction, an arrest and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and demonic possession.  The Acting Company promotes theater and literacy by bringing a touring repertory of classical productions, talented young actors and teaching artists into communities across the country. The group has been honored with the Obie Award, the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, and a Tony Honor for Excellence in theatre."
