Shakespeare’s Gone Wild at the Lake Worth Playhouse!
is the fastest, funniest, fiercest comedy
Shakespeare never intended… but wishes he had. 
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
Join our trio of madcap men in tights as they take you on an irreverent,
fast-paced romp through all 37 of the Bard’s plays, weaving their wicked way through
each of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories and tragedies.
“This show is insanely fabulous,” says the show’s director, Stephanie Haber, “and the cast is pure joy!”
The trio of Playhouse veterans that make up the cast are: Todd “Canker Blossom” Caster, J. Paul “Saucy Knave” Heiner and Calvin “Punkin’ Bloomers” Bankert.
Mr. Caster has played a vast array of historical characters throughout his lengthy stage career. Audiences will recognize him from previous Playhouse shows, The Woman in Black and Leading Ladies, in which he skillfully portrayed nine different characters between the two shows. When the overachieving actor’s uncle’s housekeeper’s cousin, who happens to be a cashier at the Publix where director Stephanie Haber shops, gave Mr. Caster notice of the Shakespeare audition, he jumped at the opportunity to beat his own record. “Stephanie asked me if I would possibly agree to play 14 different characters,” Caster said. “My reply was simply ‘only 14?'”
Mr. Heiner has played numerous roles on the Playhouse stage which he describes in words almost as elegant as those of the bard himself: “I have morphed from a drunken deadbeat well-meaning daddy (Hollywood Arms) to a Manischewitz-quaffing (offstage) CEO hell-bent on finding the perfect rock of engagement (Modern Orthodox), unto the able curse of a Pulitzer-prized play of terrifying proportions (The Crucible), to a greased radio jockey in the biggest, most fabulous high school musical ever (Grease), to a seriously damaged cereal-starved killer mouse of a man trapped in a winter storm (The Mousetrap).” Mr. Heiner uses his broad acting range to bring Shakespeare’s many, diverse characters to life.
Mr. Bankert, the youngest of the cast and the one known affectionately as “Punkin’ Bloomers,” has performed many times at the Playhouse but, until now, has never been forced to wear “a chick’s costume.” He is toughing it out, however, just happy to be in a play that offers him a sideline diversion from his academics and that keeps him off the streets of Lake Worth where he is known by the locals as “that strange boy who hears music inside his head.”
This is one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
