Next Up: The Merry Wives of Windsor!

June 20, 2024 1 Comment

Join us for our annual Summer Shakespeare in the Park!

Performances August 2-4 and 9-11 in Nichols Park, 6:00pm.
Free to watch, donations encouraged!
Bring chairs or blankets to sit on the grass.

Please note: in the case of inclement weather, the performance will take place in the Augustana Lutheran Church sanctuary, 5500 S. Woodlawn Ave.

When the washed up Sir John Falstaff decides to fix his financial woes by seducing the wives of two wealthy merchants, he doesn’t know what he’s in for. The wives discover he has sent them identical love letters, and they decide to punish him for his duplicitousness. With the help of their husbands and friends, they carry out a series of tricks and treats that will make sure Falstaff learns his lesson…only until the next scheme, of course!

    Thanks for coming up north! My friends and I watched your delightful Merry Wives at Stratford House on Fargo Ave with Lake Michigan as a backdrop.
    I just sent a donation as I didn’t have my wallet with me last night.
    Keep me in the loop and we would travel to Hyde Park next season .
