Performances will be held Oct. 29-31 and Nov. 5-7 with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Young Will Shakespeare has writer's block and is late in finishing his most recent play “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter”. He is in desperate need of inspiration until he finds his muse – Viola, a beautiful young woman who wants nothing more than to perform onstage, where women are not permitted.

Set amidst a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Will and Viola’s love blossoms and their passionate, forbidden love affair goes on to inspire Shakespeare’s masterpiece, the most romantic tragedy ever written.

Director Christine Kellogg leads the creative team consisting of current students and alumni Brittney Barton, set designer; Kristen Taylor, costume designer; Cole Hudson, wig and makeup designer; and Kelley Finn, lighting designer (’12).

In celebration of Black History Month, the UWF Office of Campus Culture and Access and the Gulf Islands National Seashore are pleased to bring you a Campus Conversation on Pensacola and the Hidden Histories of Black Liberation.

The Underground Railroad in Pensacola is one of the best-kept secrets in United States history. In the mid-1800s, enslaved people seized their freedom by following routes southward to Pensacola and beyond. During the Civil War, the U.S. military presence in West Florida motivated even more enslaved people to pursue freedom. Some joined the U.S. Colored Troops (USCT), playing an important but often overlooked role in the fight in the American Civil War. This Campus Conversation, brought to you by the UWF Office of Campus Culture and Access (OCCA) and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and in honor of Black History Month, preserves and shares these histories, offering opportunities for reflection on the ongoing struggle for human dignity. We invite you to join us as we bring into alignment the missions of the National Park Service and OCCA by fostering reflective dialogue, creating transformational and educational experiences, and preserving the narratives of those who shaped American history.

This event is funded, in part, by Pace Symposiums and is free and open to the public.

If any aspects of our program hinder your full participation, reasonable accommodation can be arranged. Guests attending university sponsored events who would like to request disability accommodations are requested to advise UWF by contacting the ADA Program Office at 850.474.2694 or 711 (TTY). Guests may also advise UWF online by submitting the UWF Sponsored Event Accommodation Request Form.
