Say ‘Congrats’ to a Brave New World: Shakespeare in the Park’s The Tempest Opens Tonight

The Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park presentation of The Tempest opens officially on June 16. The Michael Greif-helmed production features stage and screen favorites Sam Waterston and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. To commemorate the big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the cast. It’s a drawing as dreams are made on.

In addition to Waterson as Prospero and Ferguson as Trinculo, the portrait features Chris Perfetti as Arel, Louis Cancelmi as Caliban, Francesca Carpanini as Miranda, Rodney Richardson as Ferdinand, Danny Mastrogiorgio as Stephano, Charles Parnell as Alonso, Bernard White as Gonzalo, Cotter Smith as Antonio and Frank Harts as Sebastian.

Congratulations to the cast of The Tempest! Stay dry! Or don’t?



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
