Synopsis:

After stumbling upon an outdoor production of a Shakespeare play in Manhattan, Long Island landscaper Bob Malone returns home inspired to write a play about his troubled marriage. He hires two reluctant New York theatre professionals to spend a week at his home and stage the play in his garage, with a cast of colorful locals. The Groundling is a comedy exploring the meaning of the final moments of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost and how the power of theatre can affect the most unsuspecting, and perhaps most deserving, of us all.

The production staff includes costume design by Aaron Brewer and scene, lighting and sound design by Tom Dawson.

The Groundling will be directed by James Means and performed by students and alumni from Delgado’s theatre program and community members.
