Magic man
The Gallery Players
production of Shakespeare’s
“The Tempest”
contains some
fun, original touches.
As Prospero’s servant
spirits, a chorus of
children in masks
lends an eerie air to
the scenes of magic,
and the genderbent
casting means that
Prospero’s daughter
Miranda falls in love
with a shipwrecked
princess (pictured),
instead of prince!
3 p.m. at Gallery Players

Fourth and Fifth avenues
in Park Slope, (212) 352–
