Shakespeare In The Park Comes To Danville Town Green

From the Town of Danville: Shakespeare’s ‘star-cross’d lovers’ are coming to Danville for a performance of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ Members of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s ‘Shakespeare on Tour’ program will be at the Danville Town Green on October 28, 2017 to bring a FREE family friendly version of the classic play to life.

‘Romeo and Juliet’ features both thrilling sword fights and Shakespeare’s beautiful poetry, performed by a cast of five Bay Area actors in contemporary costumes. Now in its 30th year, the ‘Shakespeare on Tour’ program annually travels an average of 10,000 miles to bring a one-hour version of a Shakespeare classic to schools, libraries, and community centers across California. Each hour-long performance is composed entirely from Shakespeare’s text.

The show is set for 12:00 p.m., Oct. 28, 2017 at the Danville Town Green, 400 Front St (in front of the Danville Library).

Participants for this FREE event are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and lunch. In case of rain, the performance will take place at the Village Theatre and Art Gallery, 233 Front Street.
