(press release)
Please join us for Shakespeare in the Park! Passions soar and hearts break in this production of Romeo & Juliet, brought to you by Bear & Co. Join us outdoors to celebrate the long evenings and warm weather, and theatre that stands the test of time. Bring a picnic, a blanket or lawn chairs, raingear in case it mizzles, and bug spray, and watch six actors conjure the warring families of Verona in front of your eyes.
This year’s creative team is Eleanor Crowder, director; Rachel Eugster, music director; Chris McLeod, fight director; and players Zoe Georgaras, Phillip Merriman, David daCosta, Chris McLeod, J.T. Morris, and David Whiteley. All shows start at 7; our suggested donation into the hat is $20 per person. Please see the full tour schedule, below. More info: http://www.bearandcompany.ca/
