RICHARD III,

opened and closed to near sell-out

crowds and standing ovations every

night. Los Angeles actor Bo Foxworth

thrilled our audiences with his portrayal

of one of the most charming and chilling

villains Shakespeare ever wrote with

his portrayal of the "bottled spider"

of the title.  I felt we achieved a new

level of artistry in our production

values with this epic story of one man's

reign of terror, including David

Barker's unforgettable final sword

fight and death of Richard at the

Battle of Bosworth Field.   If you

missed this spectacular production,

and even if you saw it, you should

make plans to see the first production

of this coming season--- "BLOOD ROYAL"

--- Michael Flachmann's original

adaptation of the "HENRY VI" Trilogy,

sometimes referred to as "The Wars

of the Roses"---that is the prequel to

"RICHARD III". But be prepared---it's

easily as bloody, and action-packed, as

"Richard III"!
