By popular demand, S&Co. favorite Elizabeth Aspenlieder returns to the stage in the role for which she won a prestigious Elliot Norton Award (Best Solo Performance 2009) and was nominated for a 2010 IRNE Award. Aspenlieder pulls out all the stops as she slips into the role of single-mom-with-an-attitude Haley Walker, in this one-woman-wonder of a play. Haley balances the pressures that come with a new career as a fashionable New York City restaurateur, raising a teenaged daughter, and even a too-close-for-comfort relationship with the Romanian mob-and does so without neglecting to find the perfect pair of shoes.

Lohbauer delivers a powerhouse performance in this gripping one-man show, jumping across time and memory as one man examines the choices he's made, in a "conversation" with the memory of his friend and greatest inspiration. In the end, conscience is the surest judge.

Location: Parkman Bandstand Boston Common Time: July 28th-August 15th Link: http://www.commshakes.org The Comedy of Errors The Comedy of Errors The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare's earliest and most unbridled comedies. Belly laughs aplenty are found in the yawning gulf between the careful symmetry of the play's structure and the whirlwind of its riotous plot. Stocked with multiple sets of identical twins (constantly mistaken for each other, of course) and laced with giddy wordplay, The Comedy of Errors offers a brilliant glimpse at Shakespeare beginning to come into his own as a master dramatist.
