March 15, 44 B.C., conspirators murdered Julius Caesar on the steps of the Senate in Rome, and an immortal tale of power and politics was born (and the Roman empire was just fine, thank you very much). At some point in your life, you've probably encountered Shakespeare's version of this story inside a dark theater, but if there's one location that does immortal tales of power struggles (and politics) even better it's when Julius Caesar is performed outside our own state capitol. This is an official reminder to go see the Animal Fire Theatre's version of this timeless piece of politcal tragedy. Standing Rome only, unless you bring a chair.
