ARTS COUNCIL OF BIG SKY
The Arts Council of Big Sky is bringing its annual performance of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks to the Big Sky Town Center on Saturday, July 27, at 6 p.m. The show is free and will take place in the plaza on the south side of the Wilson Hotel.
This year’s presentation is “The Winter’s Tale.” This classic play spans sixteen years during which a jealous king accuses his wife of infidelity and exiles his newborn daughter to Bohemia where she is raised by shepherds and, ultimately, falls in love with the Bohemian king’s son. Audiences are sure to relish this story of love, loss, and forgiveness.
For the 2024 summer, the company will perform in 65 communities across five states including Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, and Washington, serving the largest number of communities to date. Most events will feature pre-show performances by local artists and audiences are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy an evening together under the Big Sky among friends and neighbors.
Founded in 1973 at Montana State University, on the firm belief that Shakespeare belongs to everyone, our accomplished company of performers and staff work tirelessly to connect people, communities, and the arts, as we spread messages of unity and understanding. Ushering Shakespeare’s immortal stories of life, love and tragedy into a modern era, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is dedicated to preserving the cultural traditions of theater and literature.
This performance is free and seating is first come, first served. Please set tall chairs further back to allow those on blankets and in short chairs to see. For more information on this event, visit bigskyarts.org.
