Shakespeare By the Sea players perform "King Lear" in Farnsworth Park last summer.
Shakespeare by the Sea, the theatrical troupe that makes the summer circuit of parks in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties, announced that it will perform "Two Gentlemen of Verona" at Farnsworth Park Amphitheatre on Sun., Aug. 5, at 7 PM.
Celebrating its 15th year, SBTS is a nonprofit organization launched in 1998 by Lisa Coffi. Since its inception, the company has provided admission-free Shakespeare productions to nearly 210,000 audience members.
“I’m excited to be celebrating our 15th Anniversary – it’s hard to believe I’ve been presenting this festival for so many years. As always, I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones as the summer season progresses,” muses Lisa. “SBTS has many loyal audience members who look forward to gathering family and friends for a summer evening picnic and theatre under the stars. For many, these productions were their first introduction to live theatre, and they return year after year. We are proud to have earned a place in the lives of so many Southern Californians.”
The performance is free. For more information: http://www.shakespearebythesea.org/
