Our exciting production was placed in a modern war setting with gender bending roles and a diverse cast comprised of military veterans and civilians. Directed by Ann Noble.
​
There are three reasons we embarked on this project:
​
1. A Collaboration of Military Veterans and Civilians
Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeare’s most revered works, is partly a story about war. Our country has been fighting wars for twenty consecutive years now. We cast this stage production partly with military veterans - actors who have experienced combat in our current conflicts. I don’t think this has been done with this play. Our actors brought a certain depth and understanding of the challenges and affects to the human psyche of those who have experienced the horrors of war. Our production was a collaboration of veterans and civilians. This partnership fits into our mission of using art to heal and bring people together. Working with civilians is a critical component to the reintegration of our returning veterans into civilian society after returning from military service
2. Ethnic Diversity In Casting
Our production has a very diverse cast and reflects modern society and the military in a way many productions do not.
3. Gender Bending Roles
We gender bended some of the main characters, including Marc Antony, Julius Caesar, Casca, Octavius, and others. In a time when there is a long over due push in the industry to have more female leads Julius Ceaser provides a perfect opportunity to present a women in leading roles.
