Spirits to Enforce

Imagine the year 1610. Ah, what a time and place.
That's when William Shakespeare wrote The Tempest.

Fast-forward four hundred years to 2019.
It's safe to say that a lot has changed.

In a secret submarine within polluted, radioactive waters, twelve absurd superheroes are engaged in their most difficult battle yet: telefundraising. The reason? Having lost faith in more traditional acts of public service, these heroes yearn to make art instead by mounting an epic production of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Of course, in the art of theatre nothing goes as planned, spiraling totally into entropy as the heroes wonder how the world has fallen into such disrepair, and what their roles might be within it.

Vernal & Sere Theatre has been waiting anxiously since its inception to introduce Atlanta audiences to the awe-inspiring work of Chicago-based playwright Mickle Maher. We believe Spirits to Enforce is a perfect introduction. By utilizing such varied traditions as comic book lore, choral arrangement, and Shakespearean text, Maher creates an expansive world filled with music and movement and language. It is wild and hilarious and truly the stuff of dreams: an excellent fit for our company.

It is our pleasure to announce that this is the Spirits to Enforce REGIONAL PREMIERE.

Less-If-You-Need / More-If-You-Want:

We've had many people ask how they can do and give more in support of our work, our livelihoods, and keep the cost of tickets affordable to all regardless of income.

Keeping theatre accessible and sustainable is a core value of ours as well. To achieve that end, we are proud to offer this ticketing structure for our production of Spirits to Enforce.

We believe in a kind of pay-what-you-can ticketing model and are thrilled to be working towards this within the Atlanta theatre scene!
