The Lyceum Series at Mississippi State University will feature the Aquila Theater Company in Lee Hall’s Bettersworth Auditorium Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m, performing “The Tempest.”
The notable theater crew will perform its rendition of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” for students and faculty of the Bulldog community. Founded in 1991, the Aquila Theater began under director Peter Meineck, who founded the theatre company. According to aquilatheatre.com, Meineck possessed the desire to create bold reinterpretations of classical plays for contemporary audiences that sought to free the spirit of the original work and recreate the excitement of the live performance that made it become a classic play.
Highlighted on MSU’s Department of Music website, The New York Times acclaimed Aquila’s productions as “Gleefully engaging…almost unbearable fun…directed with inspiration.”
