Drama

Description of Show : Written in the twilight of Shakespeare's illustrious career,  this romantic masterwork blends the genres of tragedy, comedy, and the early beginnings musical theatre in a way completely innovative to the Elizabethan stage.

Framed by the personification of Time, this tale takes us on a journey from the icy depths of winter into the beautiful rebirth of spring.

Polixenes, the King of Bohemia, has been visiting the kingdom of Sicily, ruled by his childhood best friend Leontes, for nearly nine months. As he prepares to return at last to his own kingdom, a falling out between the two regents endangers the lives of Polixenes himself, Leontes' Queen, Hermione, and her soon-to-be-born infant. The jealousy and wrath of a King still gripped by the weaknesses of youth threaten to destabilize all of Sicily as Hermione seeks to save her child, even if it means her own death.

In 2008, a group of young local residents in Dover aspired to create a home-grown artistic movement that eventually blossomed into OrangeMite Studios.  Since then, under the artistic direction of William Wolfgang and oversight of the organization’s Board of Directors, OrangeMite has continuously provided the community with opportunities to experience all dimensions of music and theater.  Every aspect of these artistic and educational events is planned, organized, and executed by local volunteers of all ages, who share a love of the arts.

OrangeMite has offered a wide range of community arts initiatives including performances of original musicals and plays, a community orchestra and choir, along with theatrical and music education programs.  Currently, the OrangeMite Shakespeare Company is preparing to produce its 19th play by The Bard, placing the organization halfway through completing the entire Shakespearean Canon.
