Best friends Valentine and Proteus are two gentlemen of Verona,
and youthful love is in the air. Proteus falls for Valentine's
glamorous new girlfriend, Silvia and dumps the faithful Julia.
To win back her man, she must (like all good Shakespearean heroines)
dress up as a boy. With three outrageous outlaws, a misbehaving
dog, and fun 60's tunes in the mix, Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen
of Verona is a zany comic caper that's sure to delight the
whole family.
Resident Director Kenneth Kelleher returns for his eighth season
of crowd pleasing Shakespeare in the Park. His arresting visual
style and use of music and dance brought rave reviews for our
2009 production of The
Comedy of Errors, as well as Pericles
(2008), A
Midsummer Night's Dream (2007), The
Tempest (2006), Much Ado About Nothing (2005), Twelfth
Night (2004), and Love's
Labour's Lost (2003).
Fans of Free Shakespeare in the Park will be delighted to see
a number of familiar faces in the cast,
as well as some talented newcomers to the Festival's park stage.
Bring your family, friends, a blanket and a picnic to enjoy FREE professional theater in a beautiful park setting!
