Event Details
First Folio Theatre (Mayslake Peabody Estate, 31st St. & Rt. 83) will present THE WINTER’S TALE as part of its annual outdoor Shakespeare Under the Stars series, previewing July 8, opening Saturday, July 11 at 8:15 p.m., and running through August 9, 2015. Pack a picnic and experience the Shakespearean classic that the The New York Times hails as “Enthralling!” The spellbinding story of jealousy, love, and the price of both is directed by Jeff Award-nominee Alison C. Vesely.

Broken hearts are mended when the king’s abandoned child falls in love with a Bohemian prince.
