Lee Theatre opens season with Shakespeare

Performances of William Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” continue through Monday at Lee University.

Directed by Dr. Christine Williams, the play centers on a jealous king, a banished princess, love, heartache and rescue.

” ‘The Winter’s Tale’ has it all: love, jealousy, revenge, redemption, hope and more,” said Williams.

The romance/tragicomedy is the season-opening production for the Lee University Theatre.

Performances are at 7:30 tonight, Saturday and Monday, with a 2 p.m. matinee performance on Sunday.

It is being presented in the Edna Minor Conn Theatre, Room 305 of the Vest Building, corner of Church and 11th streets on the Cleveland, Tenn., campus.

All tickets are $7.
