This summer marks the 35th Anniversary of Shakespeare in the Park in Bloomington. To celebrate, Monroe County Civic Theater (MCCT), together with Bloomington Parks & Rec, invites the public to join us for free performances of The Comedy of Errors at Waldron, Hill and Buskirk Park May 30 – June 9.
Every summer, beginning in 1989, MCCT has created opportunities for area residents to participate in live performances of Shakespeare’s works and for audiences to enjoy these performances free of charge in an open-air setting. MCCT is committed to helping keep Shakespeare’s work alive, accessible and meaningful to modern audiences. We believe that there’s something unique about opening the stage to anyone who wants to participate - veterans and new talent, old, young, and from all walks of life, that helps connect audiences to the rich characters, plots, and imagery. And providing an excuse for a lovely evening in the park doesn’t hurt. |
