‘Romeo and Juliet’ at Peninsula State Park: Great Theater in a Great Park

Enjoy an innovative interpretation with a few modern twists — pop-up theater at its best! — when Summit Players presents “Romeo and Juliet” at Peninsula State Park Aug. 4.

Peninsula State Park welcomes Summit Players Theatre (summitplayerstheatre.com) Aug. 4 for a workshop and performance of Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and loss, Romeo and Juliet. 

This outdoor adventure will begin with a family-friendly workshop, Playing with Shakespeare: Get Outside with Will, at 1 pm, when you can meet the actors and familiarize yourself with Shakespeare’s language and characters. The performance will begin at 2:30 pm and run for about an hour. Be ready for an innovative interpretation with a few modern twists: pop-up theater at its best!

The workshop and performance will take place at the picnic area near the Fish Creek parking lot, just past park headquarters. Both events are free, but a state-park vehicle sticker is required. No reservations are needed; patrons may attend one or both events; take a lawn chair or blanket and insect repellent. To learn more, call 920.854.5976.
