The Michigan Shakespeare Festival continues its tradition of presenting three shows in its summer season; two Shakespeare masterpieces, and one other classic or pivotal piece. This year, the non-Shakespeare piece is “The Killer Angels”, a play by Karen Tarjan’s based on the Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel by Michael Shaara.

“The Killer Angels” will be presented in repertory with “As You Like It” and Richard II” in both summer venues — Potter Center at Jackson College in Jackson, MI, and The Village Theatre in Canton, MI from July 9th through August 14th.

The 1974 Pulitzer Prize-Winning novel by Michael Shaara tells the story of the 4 days of the Battle of Gettysburg — from June 30, 1863, as the opposing troops moved into position through July 1, 2, and 3 when the bloodiest of Civil War battles was fought.

This epic novel has been adapted by award-winning playwright Karen Tarjan, and is directed by MSF’s own acclaimed Artistic Director, Janice L Blixt, for a glorious and stirring stage event which will be a Michigan theatrical premiere.

Playwright Karen Tarjan will be in attendance at the official opening performance of

“The Killer Angels” on July 17th and will be participating in a talk-back directly following the 2:00 performance. She will also be guest of honor that evening at Zingerman’s Roadhouse where a special Civil-War era plated dinner is being presented by the renowned restaurant.
