In March of 2026, Brüka Theatre will present William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a magical odyssey to an enchanted isle as seen through the operatic mind of a psychedelic Renaissance Atomic Wizard, and rightful Duke of Milan.  Wrapped up in Shakespear’s timeless romantic masterpiece are themes of power and justice, illusion and reality, and freedom and servitude, to name a few.  Our adaption is rooted in futurism in design and style providing a unique content for the interplay of Shakespeare’s extraordinary character and actions.

Dave Anderson, one Brüka Theatre’s early instigators and director of many Brüka shows including Richard III, Macbeth, King Lear, co-founder of Laughing Owl Theatre Company, and currently teaching theatre at TMCC directs Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST. Plays March 6 – 21, 2026.
