Theatre du Mississippi Summer: Prelude Concerts and Drops and Drama

Theatre du Mississippi is busy this summer presenting its third annual installment of Drops and Drama as well as producing 5 concerts in conjunction with the Great River Shakespeare Festival.

One scene from "Drops and Drama III"

Drops and Drama III

Theatre du Mississippi has prepared another new “Drops and Drama” production that will feature many of the theater drops from the historic Masonic Temple. The theater’s 90 drops were hand painted in 1909 and powerfully create numerous scenes from classical theater. This new show is written by Lynn Nankivil, narrated by Ray Felton, and will include recorded dramatic readings from the classics by Great River Shakespeare Festival apprentice actors.

Saturdays through July 28
Shows at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m..
