"Merchant of Venice" being presented by PLHS

Pequot Lakes High School students will be staging Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" April 24th-26th at the High School Theatre, under the direction of Daren Blanck. Assistant Director, Danae Anderson, tells K-Lakes' News that one of the reasons that the students chose to perform this selection from Shakespeare is because Mr. Blanck's class has been studying the history and impact of Judaism and anti-Semitism. Anderson added that the set is remarkable, as they are taking great pains to reflect Venice during Elizabethan times. Showtimes are Friday and Saturday at 7 pm, and Sunday at 2 pm. Ticket prices are $5. for adults--$3. for students.
