“The Merchant of Venice”

Nov. 11-15
Butler University Theatre
It’s a transitional year for Butler University Theatre,
which has been home to some of the most impressive and original stage work seen in Indy. Rather than coast, though, the school
is bringing in top-notch guest artists from around the world. And rather than confine their work to the classroom, it’s
been programmed into the season.

In this case, Tim Hardy—who has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Co.
and is a faculty member with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts—guides students in a production of Shakespeare’s
lightening rod of a play “The Merchant of Venice.” For details, click here.
