'The Winter's Tale' at Douthat State Park
DOUTHAT - Traveling Players Ensemble tours Virginia bringing theatre into the outdoors, and Douthat State Park is proud to offer guests "Shakespeare in the Park" at the amphitheatre on Thursday, July 24 and Friday, July 25 at 7 p.m. both nights presenting The Winter's Tale.
The Winter's Tale is Shakespeare's royal romance with an enchanted ending. Self-deception, wary kings, pregnant queens, pickpockets, bears, hoedowns, shepardesses, village idiots, and young lovers relay a legend of love lost and found again.
"Traveling Players Ensemble is a professional theatre company based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with the mission to bring great theatre into the great outdoors," said Jeanne Harrison, producing artistic director for the Traveling Players Ensemble. "Our programs reflect the very origins of theatre, when troupes of actors roamed the ancient and medieval countryside, relying on the barest props and the boldest imagination to convey their art.
In case of rain the performance will be held in the Beach House Conference Room at Douthat State Park.
There is no admission into the performance.
