This fall, EHS Theater presented William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” in the Breeden Black Box Theater, reimagining the mystical and magical comedy in a bold new setting: outer space. The production challenged the cast to master Shakespeare’s language while exploring daring choices in both design and performance. Working together as a strong ensemble, students brought this cosmic vision of “The Tempest” to life, transforming the classic tale of magic, revenge, and forgiveness into an otherworldly theatrical experience. “The play was such a fun experience, and the whole cast and crew coming together made it feel like a family,” said Jane Goldstein ’26, who played the sorcerer Prospera. “‘The Tempest,’ but in space, was such a fun concept, and I was so excited for people to see it.”
