GreenStage will present the 21st annual Shakespeare in the Park series at Discovery Park on two dates this summer. The Comedy of Errors is set for Sunday, July 26 at 3pm and King John is Sunday, August 2 at 3pm.
GreenStage’s mission is to inspire audiences to engage with live theater. The productions are free, fun, and family oriented. They present Shakespeare’s plays simply, focusing on the text, story, characters and relationships in the play. The plays are free (though donations are welcome) and you don’t need reservations. Just show up and watch the show. They do recommend that to get a good spot you should arrive at least 20 minutes early.
Bring a blanket or a chair. They ask that audience members with chairs sit towards the back so as not to block the view of those on the ground. You are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch, dinner, or snack. The show goes on in all weather. They say that if an audience is willing to sit in the rain, they are willing to give them a show. This of course depends on just how wet it gets, and how much of an audience there is. The show will be cancelled in the case of lightning.
