$100 BIRON AND ROSALINE
(Played by Jeremy Garrett and Krista Carter)

ADOPT BIRON AND ROSALINE AND RECIEVE A LIMITED EDITION LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST T-SHIRT!

Biron has reluctantly agreed to swear off women for three years in order to study with his buddy, the King of Navarre. But when the beautiful and quick-witted Rosaline shows up, Biron falls head over heels and must choose: his oath or his love?

 

$100 KING OF NAVARRE AND PRINCESS OF FRANCE
(Played by Bryan Caine and Tara Bradway)

ADOPT THE KING AND THE PRINCESS AND RECIEVE A LIMITED EDITION LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST T-SHIRT

The young King of Navarre convinces his pals to take a vow of abstinence for three years in order to conduct serious study. But he's forgotten that he's promised to meet the Princess of France to settle a dispute with her father. As the king becomes smitten with the noble princess, he finds himself breaking the very pledge he forced upon his friends.

 

$75 "THE ENTOURAGE ":
LONGAVILLE, DUMAIN, KATHERINE, MARIA AND BOYET
(Played by Isaak Oliphant, Collin McCarthy, Heather Massie, Jess Lynes and Alexis Dow )

The King of Navarre also gets his friends Longaville and Dumain to swear off women. Fortunately for them (but unfortunately for their oaths) the Princess brings along her friends, Maria and Katharine. In the middle of this comic mayhem is Boyet, the princess's faithful servant, who begrudgingly plays matchmaker.

 

$50 "THE CLOWNS":
DON ARMADO, MOTH, COSTARD, JAQUENETTA, HOLOFERNES, NATHANIEL AND DULL
(Played by Bill D'Agostino, Lee Ann Hoover, Brian Schreffler, Sara Palmer, Philip Wheeler, Charles Hooker and Emily Gray)

The Kingdom of Navarre is populated with colorful characters, such as the "fantastical Spaniard," Don Armado, and his young page, Moth. There's also the country bumpkin Costard, the saucy wench Jacquenetta, the pompous teacher Holofernes, the priest Nathaniel and the unlearned (and aptly named) Dull. This motley crew gangs together to put on a hilariously bad play-within-in-play to entertain the king, the princess and their friends.
