🎭 Hark! Join us Saturday and Sunday at 6pm at Red Morton Park for a wonderful Shakespearience!!

Catch The Two Gentlemen of Verona for the next two weekends!

🔗 www.redwoodcity.org/shakespeare

Free Shakespeare in the Park's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" delighted hundreds in Redwood City's Red Morton Park last weekend!

If you couldn't make the show, we've got you covered this weekend with performances at 6pm tomorrow, Aug 16 & Sun, Aug 17!
https://sfshakes.org/performance/free-shakes/gentlemen/

No tickets or reservations needed - come as you are and be ready for fun! The performance runs approximately 90 minutes and is presented without intermission. This rarely staged romantic comedy is suitable for all ages.

Grounded in the spirit of exploration, this production captures the quintessential drive for self-invention, while acknowledging the costs that often accompany it. It's a fast-paced journey of mistaken identities and misguided affection that will leave you laughing--and questioning what true friendship and love really mean.
