Ten Bucks Theatre Company invites you to see Shakespeare Under the Stars:

JULIUS CAESAR

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Julie Arnold Lisnet

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once."

Set in ancient Rome yet resonating strongly with modern audiences, Julius Caesar explores the consequences of political unrest and personal conviction through unforgettable characters and powerful language. From Caesar's triumphant rise to the conspirators' fateful decision and the chaos that follows, Shakespeare's masterpiece remains as urgent and compelling today as ever.

"Shakespeare's Julius Caesar gives us a profound and cautionary tale that the fight against tyranny can descend into tyranny itself. It is a timely reminder of the fragility of institutions and what we are willing to destroy when we 'cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!'"- Julie Arnold Lisnet, director
