Level Ground Arts kicks off local tour of Julius Caesar this weekend

by Shawn Parikh

Bill Fountain is doing something quite ambitious with his newest Level Ground Arts' production. Fountain has always been quite the multitasker and hard-worker when it comes to the theatre scene, and this week, he will prove his talent with Julius Caesar. The show will tour through 4 different venues in the metroplex, as well as hit Tulsa, Oklahoma for a performance.

Beware the Ides of March: This is a fascinating and engaging performance of the classic text with a brand new twist. There are only ten actors and literally an army of characters! There is no backstage. The actors do everything. They create the lights. They create the sound. They become the scenery. Our “Caesar” is a living, breathing theatrical experience. Jjoin us for a look at Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, as you have never seen it before. Directed and staged by Bill Fountain, the cast includes Ken Long, Desiree Fultz, Elizabeth Fountain, Krishna Smitha, Zac Ramsey, Francis Henry, Jordan Pokladnik, Jennifer Obeney, and Robert Shores.

This weekend, the show will kick off its run at the Lancaster Theater in Grapevine and will perform Friday evenings, January 30th and February 13th at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees on February 1st and February 15th. In between these performances, they will perform at the Grapevine Botanical Garden Stage on Friday and Saturday evenings, February 6th and 7th, at 7:30 p.m.

Then, the show will travel to Dallas Hub Theater in Dallas and performs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from February 19 - 28 at 7:30 p.m. Finally, the show will end its run at Runway Theatre in Grapevine on Thursday and Friday evenings, March 6th and 7th at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are only $10 and will be available at the door.
