A traveling group of six actors transforms Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona into a 90-minute family-friendly event in the Museum’s Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden. Directed by Rebekah Scallet, this is Shakespeare’s original rom-com about friendship, forgiveness, and the hilarious messiness of growing up.This program is weather dependent. If there is inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside to the Museum’s Grigg Gallery 216. There will be limited seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Chairs, blankets, food, and drink will not be permitted inside the Museum.

About TourCo
This stripped-down, actor-centric production features 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.
In addition to the Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden, the production will be staged for free at various outdoor venues throughout the area this summer as part of the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s 26th anniversary season.
