The FIU Theatre 2013-2014 Mainstage Season opens this Friday with Cardenio, an overstuffed lasagna of a play that combines layers of mismatched lovers, sexual intrigue, and Italian songs with a long-lost Shakespearean drama, to create a contemporary high-spirited, gawky romantic comedy.
Join our characters as they fall in and out of love while dancing, singing, and celebrating over the largest Italian feast ever presented on a South Florida stage. Cardenio is written by Stephen Greenblatt and Charles Mee, and directed by Michael Yawney. There will be a complimentary opening night reception 7pm in the Rotunda of the Herbert & Nicole Wertheim Performing Arts Center, with the performance beginning at 8pm.
