All-male cast to stage Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company’s ‘Cymbeline’

Shakespeare wrote his plays for all-male companies of actors, in which teenage boys played the women's roles. This summer, the Grand Haven-based Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will return to this tradition with an all-male cast production of Shakespeare's "Cymbeline.' This production will be directed by Bob Jones, who will travel to West Michigan from Virginia to direct the play.
