The 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Theater Arts program is proud to announce performances for Lope deVega’s “Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well,” a revolutionary classical Spanish play adapted and directed by Jessica López-Barkl. The 2023-2024 Theater season explores the theme of identity, with each play delving deep into the difficult choices characters make as they begin to determine who they truly are.

The great Spanish author Lope de Vega (1562–1635) wrote “Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well” in 1612 after he was inspired by a historical incident: farmers and peasants of the village of Fuente Ovejuna rose up against a military commander and his soldiers who routinely brutalized and oppressed them.

“Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well” will be performed outdoors at the 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Labyrinth on April 27, May 1, and May 3 at 6 p.m., and May 5 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are a suggested donation of $10 to the 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Theater Arts program/Performing Arts club. For more information, contact Jessica López-Barkl at jbarkl@sunysullivan.edu.
