All shows at 6:00 PM
Upper Entrance of Robert H. Treman State Park 

“One of Shakespeare's last plays, The Tempest is a perfect blend of comedy, drama, romance, adventure, and magic. It also offers a critical examination of early European colonialism and a speech that might represent Shakespeare's final farewell to his art.

The Tempest will be performed in a picnic area near the Upper Entrance of Robert H. Treman State Park. Tickets are $10-20 for regular performances and $10 for all tickets at the discount night on Wednesday, July 23. Food and drink are welcome, and guests should bring their own seating.”
