Yea… It’s Shakespeare Time again!
THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA
Shakespeare’s doubly-delightful comedy
By William Shakespeare, Directed by Charles Fee
July 13-August 26, 2012
Before you know it, it’s gone! Don’t let it slip away without seeing the Bard at Sand Harbor.
The 40th anniversary season commences with an exhilarating production that features gorgeous costumes, stunning sets, and a live onstage band that infuses the show with an infectious folk/rock soundscape. Also, don’t forget, one of the most talented professional acting companies in the West!
Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona is sure to enchant the entire family. Bosom buddies Valentine and Proteus are Verona’s closest comrades, but their friendship is put to the ultimate test when Proteus forsakes his beloved Julia and competes for the affections of Valentine’s newfound love, the strong-willed Silvia. Teeming with high comic scenes and rich, romantic language, Two Gents displays Shakespeare’s copious comic powers at their hilarious height.
