Shakespeare in the Park

TNT Presents our 16th Year of Shakespeare in the Park:

As You Like It, coming May 24th - June 8th, 2019

TNT’s upbeat staging of Shakespeare’s As You Like It is set in NYC during the 1930's at the height of Hoovervilles and the Lindy Hop craze. Our adaptation weaves a tale of love, jealousy and deception as identities are juggled and loyalties tried. Shakespeare’s original language is preserved capturing the eloquence and timelessness of the Bard while inserting some unexpected fun. This fresh adaptation of a timeless tale is entertaining for all ages. As always, the show is family friendly and filled with music, dancing, and humor. There is something for everyone in this production of As You Like It.

 

Take Note Troupe has been bringing free Shakespeare in the Park productions to the community since 2003. We are committed to making The Bard accessible, engaging, and relevant. How does TNT continue to dish up a fresh interpretation of literature that’s been around for over 400 years? TNT has a magic formula you can read about here.   The more you know, the more there is to love about the Bard--and TNT knows their Bard.  Besides competing (and bringing home awards) many times in the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s National High School competition, we’ve also adapted 7 of his plays and written an original play about his relativity to contemporary high school students called Passing the Bard .   We’ve performed for thousands of Shakespeare enthusiasts and garnered some serious awards.  It’s always delightful to hear generous comments from either surprised first time attendees or the loyal fans who have come for years to enjoy the show.

It's also a great chance to see the show under the lights (and in a comfortable, air-conditioned theater). Go to the State Theater's website for tickets.

Our other Shakespeare in the Park performances are free in the park and do not require a ticket, however we welcome donations, as these productions are expensive to bring to the public. You should plan to arrive early and bring along low-backed chairs or a picnic blanket and  a jacket, as the evenings can be cool after dark.
