One of St. Louis’s favorite summer traditions! Shakespeare in the Park has entertained over a million people since 2001. Nearly 40,000 attendees take advantage of the performances in Forest Park in St. Louis each season to enjoy high-quality entertainment made by world-class artists created just for them.
TourCo is a stripped-down, actor-centric production featuring a versatile cast of six, with most tackling multiple roles in one of Shakespeare’s iconic texts. Creating a rich theater of the imagination, they will take the joyous, professional Shakespeare that the Festival is known for to thousands of people who might not otherwise have access to it. This program is designed to challenge audiences across all demographics and regions. This programming is perfect for schools, parks, libraries, civic centers, and wherever people gather to learn, experience, and be inspired together.
This event is hosted by WashU on the East End of campus in Tisch Park at the Sumers Welcome Pavillion. The performance will be “Two Gentlemen of Verona.” The event is free and open to the public. Please feel free to bring your own blanket or lawn chair.
