Theatricum Botanicum announces season

The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum announces its 2007 Summer Repertory Season.

The shows are Shakespeare's tragedy "The Tempest" from June 3 through Sept. 30; the Bard's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from June 9 through July 21 and Sept. 2 through 30; Noel Coward's comedy "Blithe Spirit" from June 30 through Sept. 29; and the world premiere of Ellen Geer's adaptation of Bram Stoker's metaphysical tragedy, "Dracula," from July 28 through Sept. 29.

The plays run on a rotating schedule of afternoon and evening shows. Playgoers should call the theater for dates and times of performances. Some performances include a preshow discussion.

Tickets for repertory plays are $25 for lower tier and $20 for upper tier. Discounts are available for groups, children, students, seniors and members of Actors' Equity Association.

The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum is at 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Topanga. The amphitheaters are terraced into the hillside, so audience members are advised to dress casually and warmly for evenings and bring cushions for bench seating. Picnickers are welcome on the grounds before or after the performances.

For tickets and a full schedule, call (310) 455-3723.
