SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK RETURNS TO SOUTH PASADENA

SHAKESPEARE

BY THE SEA TO PERFORM HAMLET AND A MIDSUMMER


NIGHT'S DREAM AT SOUTH PASADENA'S GARFIELD PARK 

At twilight, among the lush green beauty of
South Pasadena's Garfield Park, "Something’s rotten in Denmark” as
Shakespeare by the Sea (SBTS) unveils the ultimate royal family drama:Hamlet,
Prince of Denmark, on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m.  


Disturbed by the ghost of his father, the king's
despondent son weighs family loyalty and self preservation against his
duty to the crown, with tragic results.  

The touring company returns to Garfield
Park Thursday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. to demonstrate "what fools
these mortals be" with Shakespeare’s delightful celebration of
summer magic and mystique, A Midsummer Night's Dream. 


Puck entertains with extraordinary feats of
mischief as he mercilessly toys with lovers of all kinds, humans and fairies
alike. 

Audiences arrive early to enjoy cozy blanket
picnic dinners before taking in an evening of free, critically-acclaimed
theatrical entertainment. SBTS concessions and swag are on sale throughout the evening.  

Shakespeare by the Sea is a nonprofit
organization launched in 1998 by Producing Artistic Director Lisa Coffi.
Partnerships with local city organizations enable them to provide summer

performances for free.  

SBTS has not received any funding from the City
of South Pasadena for the past several years, but it continues to include the
community among its 22-location tour. Donations are encouraged and
sponsors sought to ensure future appearances at Garfield Park.
