Description

Items from Great Basin College and Silver Stage Players' production of Bard in the Yard II.

"No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there's too much fraternizing with the enemy."

Help the Duncan Littlecreek Gallery, Great Basin College, and Silver Stage Players celebrate the summer season with the staging of Bard in the Yard II – The Battle of the Sexes. This unique production features excerpts from a number of William Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies performed in an intimate outdoor setting. Conceived by director Frank L. Sawyer in 2011, the Bard in the Yard Project explores common themes throughout Shakespeare’s works. 2013’s version of BITY focuses on the battle of the sexes. Life, love, death, and happiness shall all hang in the balance as we explore the machinations of all things male and female and attempt to answer the age old question; who will win the battle of the sexes? Performances are September 11-13, 18, 20, 21 beginning at 7 PM in the back yard of the Duncan LittleCreek Gallery located at 518 Commercial Street in Elko Nevada. The show includes passages from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Taming of the Shrew, Love's Labours Lost, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Tickets are only $5 and are available at the door.

Directing Bard in the Yard for the second time is Frank L. Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer’s directing credits include Much Ado About Nothing, The Odd Couple (female version), Lysistrata, Talk Radio, Bringing it All Back Home, and The Zoo Story among others. About the opportunity Sawyer said, “It is an honor to partner with Duncan LittleCreek Gallery, the Silver Stage Players, and Great Basin College for this project!".
