Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors

The Ethington Theatre Series begins with a bang as we present Shakespeare's wacky comedy, “The Comedy of Errors.” Two sets of identical twins are set loose in this fast-paced, side-splitting play full of mistaken identities, miscommunications and, of course, mismatched love. Join us under the stars for a socially-distanced evening of crazy fun. "The Comedy of Errors" is Shakespeare like you've never seen him before.

“The Comedy of Errors” is a closed production for GCE and GCU employees, students and faculty members.

Stream it live on YouTube on Sept. 30 at 8 pm AZ Time or watch the recorded version anytime after that!
