Event Details

This summer, 11 actors will embark on 2 classic tales; Hamlet, directed by Kevin Asselin, and The Winter’s Tale, directed by Eva Brenaman.

Hamlet tells the story of the young prince of Denmark who returns home following the sudden death of his father. The most famous ghost story ever told, Hamlet grapples with the weight of his responsibility to avenge his father’s death, to out-maneuver his traitorous uncle, and “to be, or not to be.” With some of Shakespeare’s most memorable lines and iconic characters, audiences won’t want to miss this tale of love and loss, duty vs desire, and the power of performance.

As always, the performance is completely FREE. Bring a picnic, a blanket, and enjoy a night of professional theatre under the Big Sky.

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks performance of The Winter's Tale can be seen nearby in Fort Benton on August 8.
