ONEONTA - Twenty-six SUNY Oneonta students were involved in the Theatre Department’s production of “The Tempest,” the final production of the fall 2024 semester. “The Tempest,” written by William Shakespeare, features the King of Naples and his followers after being cast ashore on a desert island by a violent storm.
SUNY Oneonta’s production of “The Tempest” was a joint performance made possible by Theatre Department faculty and staff, and students from the Mask and Hammer Club. Rehearsals began this semester in September with cast and crew exploring the text and playing through the scenes to make sense of relationships and character intentions. Full-stage rehearsal for “The Tempest” began in early October. Among the student performers were Oskar Isaksson-Stahler of Franklin and Jessy Gardner.
