Advice To The Players’s 2022 Studio Series starts July 9

SANDWICH — Advice To The Players, Sandwich’s own Shakespeare company, announce their Studio Series for 2022. This summer they have a collection of pieces that support their overall season theme — The Masks We Choose To Wear. Studio Series events are free and unticketed, but donations are accepted and greatly appreciated.

The Studio series will start off on Saturday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m. with Masked by Glynn Cosker at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater. This play deals with the struggles the pandemic put on a small family. It will be directed by ATTP's Associate Producer Lucy Randall-Tapply.

At the end of July, ATTP will welcome back Queen Mab, their teen company, with their production of Twelfth Night. Queen Mab is ATTP’s student run — teen company and will be directed by Gus Kush. Twelfth Night will have two evenings of shows, Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31 at 5:30 p.m. at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage.

Premiering with ATTP this summer is Miranda’s Offering by Douglas Post, a retelling of The Tempest by William Shakespeare from the side of Prospero and Miranda. This play will take the stage on Saturday, Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall Theatre and will be helmed by returning director Mikayla Caterino.

And to close out ATTP’s Studio Series this summer will be "What You Will" by Max Guttmann on Saturday, Aug. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater. Town Hall theatre is located at 8 Maple Street. The Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage is located at the end of Quimby Field Road. This hilarious comedy is a compilation of lines from all of Shakespeare’s plays reordered to tell a new comedic story. 

Throughout the summer, ATTP has partnered with The Foothills Cafe and Curio to host Open Mic Nights every other Wednesday at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, if you’d like to reserve a spot to perform, email secretary@advicetotheplayers.org.
