Montana Shakespeare in the Parks in Lewistown

Event Details

Join us in Lewistown for Much Ado About Nothing on Wednesday, June 24 at 6:30 PM at the Creekside Pavilion.

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks returns for its 54th season, bringing the magic of live theatre to communities across Montana (and beyond) from June through September. With performances held under open skies and free to attend, this treasured summer tradition invites audiences of all ages to gather for an evening of storytelling, connection, and culture. Featuring two beloved Shakespearean works - The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado About Nothing - the tour will reach more than 60 towns across five states, creating unforgettable moments under Montana's quintessential Big Sky.

This summer’s production of Much Ado About Nothing explores the delight and uncertainty of love, reputation, and the powerful role community plays in shaping how we see one another. Set in the wake of war, this spirited comedy follows returning soldiers and their gracious hosts as they become entangled in romance, witty deceptions, and ever-changing perceptions. Through a lively ensemble of characters, Shakespeare reveals how easily we can be misled - and how resilience, honesty, and compassion can ultimately restore trust and connection.
