(Gloucester, MA, March 24, 2026) The Cape Ann Shakespeare Troupe (CAST) presents one of Shakespeare’s most notorious villains in Richard III, April 9-12 and 16-19, 2026, at The Natti-Willsky Performance Center, Home of Gloucester Stage Company, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA.Show times are Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets may be purchased for $30.00 online at www.gloucesterstage.com, by calling the box office at 978-281-4433, or at the door.
Directed by Jess Emerson, the production explores the complex dimensions of Richard’s character. The deformed youngest brother of the newly crowned King Edward, Richard vows to his audience to “prove himself a villain.” Armed with unparalleled skills of persuasion and deceit, he murders and manipulates his way to the English throne. A strangely lovable villain, Richard easily wins his audience over, leaving them to question who they are truly rooting for. However, a kingdom built on lies and ruthless ambition is destined to crumble. Richard entrances the audience with his wit, cunning manipulation of language, and vicious determination—qualities that once won his audience, ultimately lead to his rapid downfall.
CAST’s Richard III features a variety of seasoned and first-time actors from Cape Ann and the North Shore including: Kristin Alexander, Rebecca Axelrod, Michael Barry, Mark Efinger, Charlee Efinger, Joseph Grebla, Mia Imparato, Sophie Kelly, Kevin Lee, Nora Lee, Billy Lewand, Rachel Miller, Emily Morcos, Amanda O’Donnell, Ariana Gaelan Ortmann, Gerard Roy, Tessa Sacramone, Mark Schulte, Ted Silva, David Vincent, Brian Weed and Deirdre Weed .
The Cape Ann Shakespeare Troupe, a non-profit community theatre group formed in 2008, is devoted to bringing the works of Shakespeare and other notable playwrights to Cape Ann audiences

“Gloucester became an artistic challenge – all coastal days have a certain amount of ‘fog’ to them…I am always aware of the atmospheric shifts in sea air.” – Emile Gruppe (1896-1978)
“I became energized and revitalized…capturing the soft prismatic glow of air – atmospheric perspective.” – John Twachtman (1853-1902)
“I became a Folly Cove artist…capturing atmosphere and light – where people live and work and play.” – Leon Kroll (1884-1974)
Additionally, Theresa Bernstein (1890-2002), William Meyerowitz (1887-1981), Hayley Lever (1876-1958), and Gordon Grant (1875-1962) experienced powerful shifts in air, light and color captured by their ambitious experimentation while working on Cape Ann. Come experience our carefully curated display of masters showcasing their journey – while breathing rarefied air.
