This year we thought we would give our
audience the WHOLE Shakespeare cannon
in ONE show. This madcap comedy tries
to smoosh all of Shakespeare’s comedies
and tragedies into one tasty treat of high
silliness! A must-see for Shakespeare lovers
and those who just like a great laugh!
Now in its seventh year, Looseleaf is the
professional arm of Concordia’s theatre
department blending professional actors
with Concordia student actors. Our goal—
bringing free classics to Orange County.
