Join us this summer as we tell the story of misplaced jealousy and happy endings. The show will be rehearsed Ren-Style. We will mimic the way shows were rehearsed during the Renaissance. Actors are only provided a cue script, not the entire play, and come in fully memorized and off book.  Rehearsals are limited to approximately 24 - 48 hours (~10-14 days) prior to opening the final weekend in July and runs for 4 weekends.

​

This is an ensemble production and will also require set-up and break-down at each venue.

Vallejo Shakespeare in the Park aims to provide professional performance opportunities to Bay Area actors of color, various gender identity, and women through non-traditional casting. We want our productions to reflect the community in which they are performed and help our audience connect to classical theater with exciting contemporary staging.

​

We believe the arts are an important part of the fabric of a community and we want to do our part to ensure a thriving arts environment and help raise the value of the arts as a public benefit. We present a “bare-bones” production, concentrating on the actor’s performances and honest storytelling, with minimal set and modern dress.

​

We also participate in Vallejo's Independence Day parade, a 169 year tradition, which will be on a Thursday this year. Participation is voluntary.
