Catch this free outdoor performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona on Friday, August 21, at 6:30 p.m. at City Park in Edwardsville. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy an evening of live theater under the stars. Presented by TourCo and directed by Rebekah Scallet.
Best friends Valentine and Proteus pledge unwavering loyalty to one another—until they both fall for the same woman. Suddenly, friendship, love, and good judgment are put to the test. Filled with clever disguises, hilarious misunderstandings, and one unforgettable scene-stealing dog, Two Gentlemen of Verona is Shakespeare's original romantic comedy about friendship, forgiveness, and the wonderfully messy journey of growing up.
