SUMMARY:St. Louis Shakespeare Festival: Two Gentleman of Verona
DESCRIPTION:Best friends Valentine and Proteus swear loyalty to each other… until they both fall for the same woman. Suddenly loyalty\, love\, and good judgment all go out the window. Complete with disguises\, misunderstandings\, and one very scene-stealing dog\, this is Shakespeare’s original rom-com about friendship\, forgiveness\, and the hilarious messiness of growing up. \nDon’t miss the talented actors live on stage at the Bellevue Park Bandshell on August 13th! St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s commitment to accessible theater means this event is FREE to attend and held right here in one of our public parks. We hope to see you there!
