Shakespeare at the Garden
Enjoy a free, professional theater production of Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Garden. The Garden is partnering with the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival TourCo. The production features a versatile cast of six actors, with most tackling multiple roles to create a rich theater experience of imagination and joy.
In Two Gentlemen, best friends Valentine and Proteus swear loyalty to each other—until they fall for the same woman. Suddenly loyalty, love, and good judgment go out the window. Complete with disguises, misunderstandings, and one scene-stealing dog, this is Shakespeare’s original rom-com about friendship, forgiveness, and the hilarious messiness of growing up.
Bring your blankets and picnics to the Cohen Amphitheater for this evening performance. Free admission begins at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 6:30 p.m.
