About this Event
Join us for a delightful evening at Red Morton Park as we present Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona! In this summer’s production, two young men journey from a small Midwestern town – rooted in simplicity and tradition – to the alluring promise of California, where dreams are made and shattered in equal measure. The two friends who venture westward confront their inner conflicts as they are seduced by the possibilities of love, success and reinvention. Grounded in the spirit of exploration, this adaptation captures the quintessential drive for self invention, while acknowledging the costs that often accompany it.
