Play: The Tempest

Find an escape from the tensions of today’s world with Asbury University’s production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a captivatingly refreshing theatre experience. The Asbury University Theatre Department opens this imaginative retelling of Shakespeare’s final fantastical comedy-drama November 7 at the Greathouse Theatre for two weekends of performances.
The Tempest is a spellbinding tale of magic, vendettas, young love, family bonds, and the power of forgiveness. Prospero, a once-powerful wizard and noble, is banished by his treacherous brother Antonio to live on a deserted island with his daughter Miranda. Prospero plots to take vengeance on his enemies by conjuring a ferocious storm at sea, shipwrecking the motley crew of royals and fools. Bedlam and hilarity soon break loose as love ignites, competing revenge schemes go awry, and a series of mistaken identities whirl. At the climax of the chaos, Prospero must choose between retribution or his daughter’s newfound love for the young noble Ferdinand. Each choice carries a cost.
Written toward the end of his career, The Tempest is an uncommon example of Shakespeare’s moving beyond the strict confines of comedy or tragedy to invent an entirely new dramatic form. Guest Director and Visiting Theatre Professor, Harvey Johnson, breathes new life into the Bard’s most musical play reimagining it for a 21st-century audience. In a collaboration with set designer and Asbury University Theatre Program Director Kris Dietrich, Johnson has created a fantastical, other-worldly backdrop for this story.
“Like the exiles and castaways in the story, we want the audience to be transported,” said Johnson. “As people enjoy the story world that Shakespeare created, they become more open to the power of forgiveness to mend divisions in the real world.”
The Tempest features a talented Asbury student cast which include Bruce Deerfield playing Prospero, Bek Askey, as Ariel, Kaylyn Love Wilson, in the role of Miranda, and Jack Johnson as Ferdinand. Austin Mays takes on the classic role of Caliban. A strong support cast of 17 play everything from shipwrecked sailors, villainous family members, sea nymphs, clueless royals, and more.

Shop Small Business Week
2024-11-30 - 2024-12-07 | Downtown Wilmore
Once again, the Wilmore Business Association and the Community Development Board will partner with American Express to promote their annual “Shop Small Business Saturday.” While the official date is November 30, Wilmore will be celebrating for a full week: November 30 – December 7. Retail shops will be featuring holiday inventory, sales, gifts with purchase, refreshments and more! Shoppers can register for one of four $30 gift certificates to be given away at the close of the event.
Why shop locally? Our small businesses create jobs and pay local taxes which keeps money circulating within Wilmore. What happens when you spend $100 locally? According to “Independent We Stand,” $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community. Other benefits are savings on travel, gas, and time. And local shop owners can offer that personalized assistance that is so often missing when shopping in the big box stores.
