Shakespeare in the Park

Join us on Thursday, June 27th for some Shakespeare at the Park! The Classical Actors Ensemble (CAE) will join us once again to perform Twelfth Night at Franconia Sculpture Park. Written circa 1601, Twelfth Night is an ensemble romantic comedy and one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. The plot centers on shipwrecked twins who separately wash ashore in a foreign land, each thinking the other dead, and soon become entangled in an unrequited love triangle of noble bon vivants. CAE honors Shakespeare’s work by making high-quality entertainment available for all at no charge through its annual Shakespeare in Our Parks program. CAE encourages audiences to bring a picnic to enjoy this free outdoor entertainment for the entire family. In keeping with CAE’s aesthetic, this production will include live, modern music performed by the cast. This activity is funded through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council through an appropriation from the Minnesota Legislature with money from the State’s general fund.
