THE MERCHANT
OF VENICE

AUGUST 8-10, 2025 |  THEATRE ARTISTS STUDIO

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Beau Heckman

How far would you go to uphold your values and seek justice?

Back by popular demand, Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE delves deep into themes of mercy, justice, and self-discovery. Witness the complex interplay between Shylock, Antonio, and Portia as they navigate a world of contractual obligations and moral dilemmas. The lines between justice and revenge blur as this production challenges audiences to reflect on their own beliefs and the lengths they would go to defend them. “All that glisters is not gold…”
