Joe Clark Joins Mark Creter To Discuss Shakespeare At Dogwood Park Info

Loading player...
Mark Creter talks with Joe Clark, director of Shakespeare at Dogwood Park, about his upcoming production of Troilus and Cressida. Joe shares how a previous play inspired him to take on this lesser-known Shakespeare work—one of the Bard's longest and only performed once during his lifetime. Set during the Trojan War, the production will feature period-appropriate costumes and a large cast, staying true to Shakespeare’s original language and pageantry. Joe also discusses his passion for theater, his work at the Cookeville Performing Arts Center, and the sense of community that drives his creative process. The play is free and open to the public.
