The Cameron University Department of Art, Music and Theatre Arts kicks off its 2024-25 season, “Don’t’ Go Breakin’ My Heart,” with a comical romp through all of Shakespeare’s iconic works, “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised) (Again).”

Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield with new revisions by Singer and Winfield, the production will be presented in the Studio Theatre from Thursday, October 3, through Sunday, October 6. The curtain goes up on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets purchased at the door are $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, members of the military, non-CU students and CU faculty and staff.

The production is recommended for mature audiences only and may contain content that some audience members may find objectionable.

In a rush to glory, three madcap players weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies in one wild ride that will leave audiences breathless and helpless with laughter.

This hilarious comedy stars a trio of Cameron’s undergraduate theatre arts majors: Joceline Hernandez, Baytown, Texas, as Daniel; Duncan’s Victoria Spruill as Jess; and Rose Landrum, Lawton, as Adam.

The design crew highlights students under faculty supervision. Shayson Lenee’ Hodges, Comanche, is the scenic designer, and Duncan’s Jaiden Standridge works as costume designer. Victor Rosario is the props master, assisted by Skylar Edward as props assistant. Both are from Lawton. Natalie Small, Duncan, serves as the production’s stage manager, assisted by Tamia Johnson, Graceville, Fla., as assistant stage manager.

Additional students round out the technical crew. Theo Cognet works as lighting board operator, while Gabriella Aguilar and Rhia Pettigrew collaborate on the wardrobe crew. All are from Lawton. The run crew consists of Sydney Dalby, Cache; Mvnte Jones, Tulsa; and Alexzander Ernest and Desire’e Webster, Lawton. Alex Bliefernich, Lawton, works as the house manager/publicity.

Guiding the students through the production are theatre instructor Jean Gerald Tartière as director, assistant professor Ben Williams as technical director, and theatre facilities manager Joseph Roberts.
