The Tempest

The Tempest is one of Shakespeare's late plays, a romance-comedy about the magician Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, who, after being usurped and exiled, uses magic to conjure a storm to maroon his enemies on a remote island, leading to plots of revenge, love between his daughter Miranda and the King's son Ferdinand, and eventual forgiveness and restoration of his dukedom. The Tempest is often seen as a farewell to the stage for both Prospero and Shakespeare himself. 

The performance will be outdoors at Tenney House (47 Tenney Hill Road) in Monson on July 25th at 2pm. Tickets are $14 general admission, $12 for Theatre members, and $8 for kids under 14. (Rain date Sunday, July 26th at 2pm)

Thank you to Camden Shakespeare Festival and Monson Arts for making this possible!

Filmmaker Jeanine Thomas has arranged a special encore showing of THE OPTIMIST. Jeanine will be on hand for a Q&A after the film.

Produced by Guilford, Maine filmmaker Jeanine Thomas, THE OPTIMIST traces the remarkable true story of Herbert Heller and the unlikely friendship that transforms both him and a young woman searching for her own sense of direction. As a boy, Herbert survived the Holocaust and carried the weight of an unspoken secret for six decades, choosing silence as a way to move through the world. When he meets Abby, a perceptive and intuitive teenager quietly grappling with her own emotional burdens, something shifts. Abby’s curiosity, compassion, and steady presence begin to open a door Herbert long believed was sealed.

As Herbert slowly shares the truth of his past, an unexpected bond takes root—one that bridges generations and reveals how connection can illuminate even the darkest corners of memory. Through each other, they discover understanding, healing, and the courage to finally voice what has been held inside.

Starring Stephen Lang (Avatar) as Herbert, Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) as Abby, and Luke David Blumm (Where the Crawdads Sing) as young Herbert, THE OPTIMIST is a profoundly moving film about resilience, remembrance, and the life-changing impact of being truly heard. It is a testament to the power of storytelling—and to the hope found in human connection.
