ATC's Fortinbras
Donation protected
The Aeneid Theatre Company is a student theatre company devoted to independently producing upstanding non-musical plays at USC. We are absolutely thrilled to start off the second semester with Fortinbras by Lee Blessing!
Because we are a student organization, we don't have the funding and support that other, long-standing production companies possess. We need your help to get our company off the ground and onto the stage, and contributors like you can make all the difference in the world.
With your help, ATC can make a real impact within the USC theatre community for all the students involved.
The production team has spent a lot of time carefully creating a budget for the production. All money raised will go directly to funding these essential costs.
We need YOUR HELP. Every dollar raised helps us reach our goal.
If you're totally broke and don't have a couple dollars to spare right now, that's okay! You can still help in other ways. Most importantly, you can share this page on all your social media profiles and help spread the word to as many people as possible! And of course, please come to our show!
About the Show: The fall of the curtain is only the beginning in Lee Blessing's metaphysical farce (and unofficial sequel to Hamlet), Fortinbras. When the titular Prince of Norway arrives at Elsinore to find the royal family killed, he launches a plot to legitimize his ascent to the throne. His machinations don't go unchallenged, however, and no one stays dead for long in Elsinore. Soon a cavalcade of ghosts, an honor bound Horatio and an out of control military campaign leave Shakespeare's quintessential man of action questioning everything.
