Limited registration for all, so sign up ASAP!

FSU Asolo Conservatory: Julius Caesar

April 7-26

Another virtual production (originally intended to be outdoors at Selby Gardens downtown), this Conservatory production of the classic Shakespeare play draws some parallels between ancient history and our own, all while throwing out the notion of traditional gender roles in its casting of its second-year students. Filmed in student homes, Conservatory studios and outdoor settings around town, it’s available at asolorep.org/julius-caesar.
