The youth theater production, “William’s Window,” opens Thursday evening on the Duane Allen Stage in the Ray E. Karrer Theater at Paris Junior College. PJC’s Drama Department is offering the delightful play by Marina Stockdale that’s designed to introduce audiences to the works of William Shakespeare. Performances run from March 6 to March 9, 2025.
“We invite you to join PJC Drama for an engaging theatrical journey through some of Shakespeare’s most beloved works, brought to life by talented performers,” said PJC Drama Faculty William L. Walker. “This production promises to be both educational and entertaining for audiences of all ages.”
“William’s Window” offers a buoyant and accessible introduction to Shakespeare’s timeless tales. The story opens with a group of children at play and leads into scenes from five of Shakespeare’s classics: “Macbeth,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Henry IV Part 1,” and “The Taming of the Shrew.” Originally developed for fourth-grade students, the production demonstrates that young audiences and performers can engage with and understand Shakespeare’s language and themes.
There are five performances of the play at 7:00 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, March 6-8, and at 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9.
Tickets may be purchased at the box office prior to each performance. Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 for senior adults (65+), $5 for high school students, and free to those with a current PJC ID. Donate a new, unused toy and get half off general admission.
Attendees are encouraged to take advantage of the toy donation discount, supporting local children in need while enjoying a cultural experience.
