If you haven’t had the chance to catch a play with Shakespeare in the Park this season, you’ve still got a few more days. Two of their plays wrap up this weekend.
‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ ends this Friday, July 19. The 2013 Shakespeare in the Park season opened in June with this Shakespeare classic, directed by guest director Sara Romersberger. In the play, Theseus, Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, are to be married and great celebrations are to be had, but things do not go as planned. With magic, love and hearsay abounding, this story will capture audience attention until the very end. Performance time is 8:15 p.m. for all shows. At the Samuell Grand Amphitheatre. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $7 for children/seniors.
‘Pericles‘ ends this Saturday, July 20. In the play, when Pericles discovers the dreaded answer to Antioch’s riddle, he flees for his life straight into famine, shipwreck, love and fatherhood. This story moves the audience through resurrection, attempted murder and pirates before reaching a divine revelation. Directed by executive and artistic director Raphael Parry. Performance time is 8:15 p.m. for all shows. At the Samuell Grand Amphitheatre. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $7 for children/seniors.
