Theatre B presents a guest performance of "La Serva Padrona - The Maid's the Boss" by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi Opera/Intermezzo 1733.

American Version Adapted by Steve Solkela 2024.

ABOUT THE CHARACTERS:

Uberto: a naïve, well-to-do, wealthy Italian bachelor, just vibing. Undecided on his future.
Serpina: his bossy maid, intent on jumping up a tax bracket; whatever manipulative means necessary.
Vespone: The incompetent/mute butler, completely checked out professionally, caught in the crossfire.

Come see Serpina's lecherous plan unfold in comic virtuosic fashion! Will she prevail? Will the ice around Uberto's heart remain frozen? Will they find true love in unexpected places? Regardless, you're gonna laugh a metric ton at this high viscosity Opera sure to knock your socks CLEAN off!

ROMEO & JULIET by William Shakespeare, adapted by Jon Micheels Leiseth (2025)

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet gets trimmed and sharpened in this fresh adaptation from Theatre B’s Artistic Director, Jon Micheels Leiseth. Set in an imagined world that fuses the styles from the Italian Renaissance and 1940’s Italy, this fresh new take is full of momentum, movement, and music that are thoroughly modern.

In the midst of this sumptuous danger, the ‘star-crossed lovers’ attempt to bridge the boundaries that the authority and family have set to keep them apart.

True enough to the original for the fans of the bard, crisp and clear enough for the easily bored, with twists to intrigue the familiar.

Join us to experience this exciting collaboration between Theatre B and Theatre NDSU!
