Will Kempe's Players
a Shakespeare cooperative out of New York's Capital Region
Celebrate the season in WKP style!
What's this? What's this? A fun-for-the-whole-family event with Will Kempe's Players? We're just jolly about bringing our ever-popular radio play to the stage for a "final dress rehearsal..." that happens to be in front of an audience!
This holiday season, we present "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, as adapted by Shane Sczepankowski and curated by Jack Ellis. This staged reading brings all of the magic of WKP’s whimsical musical soundscapes and classic clowning to the holiday season in a family-friendly, 90-minute performance with an intermission.
Kids are FREE!
Get ready for cozy, communal holiday magic at
Mount Ida Preservation Association.
548 Congress St., Troy, NY
December 20th at 7 pm & 21st at 2 pm.
Tickets available for presale BELOW or at the door.
By the pricking of our thumbs...
...something wicked this way comes!
We are the only worker-owned Shakespeare cooperative in the United States.
