King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is loosely based on the mythological Leir of Britain.  King Lear, in preparation for his old age, divides his power and land between his daughters Goneril and Regan, who pay homage to gain favour, feigning love. The King's third daughter, Cordelia, is offered a third of his kingdom also, but refuses to be insincere in her praise and affection.

​

King Lear is directed by Charlie E. Walker.  Kurt Schauppner will be playing the iconic King Lear.

UPDATE: As you know weather can be unpredictable and dangerous here in the high desert.  We aim to provide the best experiences possible for our guests.  In that way we have reviewed the weather for the Sunday matinee shows.  For the safety of our guests and actors we have decided to push back the starting time.  The house will open at 4pm and the show will start at 430pm.  Those of you who already bought tickets, if you can not make this time let us know and we will do our best to reschedule you or refund you your money.  Again we apologize for any issues this might cause but we are only thinking of what is best for both our guests and actors.

UPDATE 2:  It is with great sadness that the upcoming production of King Lear has been cancelled.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will be working to refund those of you who purchased tickets within the next 48hrs. Once refunded you will receive a confirmation of the transaction. We thank you for your support and again express our sorrow.
