The Boys From Syracuse

The College Light Opera Company (CLOC) is proud to present The Boys from Syracuse as its upcoming production. 

Identical twins, Antipholus of Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse, were separated from each other in a shipwreck as young children. Their servants, both named Dromio, are also long-separated identical twins. When the pair from Syracuse come to Ephesus, a comedy of errors and mistaken identities ensues when the wives of the Ephesians, Adriana and her servant Luce, mistake the two strangers for their husbands. Adriana's sister Luciana and the Syracuse Antipholus fall in love, but all gets resolved in this musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors.

Stage director Mark A. Pearson and music director Beth Burrier lead this production. This production will be followed this season by Oklahoma! in two weeks. Pearson, originally from Hull, MA, received his degrees from Boston College and Boston University and current resides in Germany. Burrier, from State College, PA, holds degrees from Otterbein University and Ithaca College.
