The Village Theater presents BOY MY GREATNESS, a play by Zoe Senese-Grossberg, directed by Emily Newmark.

THE SHOW
What happened to the boys who played Shakespeare's women? In the summer of 1606, six boy players warm up, run lines, gossip, and fall in and out of love all in between rehearsals for the premieres of Antony and Cleopatra and Twelfth Night. As the plague and rising religious conservatism threaten their way of life, they are all forced to reconsider their futures on the stage.
