GreenStage’s mission is to inspire audiences to engage with live theater as part of their recreation. The productions are free, fun, and family-oriented. Shakespeare’s plays are presented simply, focusing on the text, story, characters and relationships in the play.
GreenStage’s 22nd season is filled with love and lovers. Tragic, beautiful, silly, star-crossed, unrequited and out of their minds – they’re all here in “As You Like It” and “Romeo & Juliet”, presented through August 14 in parks throughout the region, including several parks in Seattle as well as parks in Lynnwood, Burien, Fall City, and Redmond. For a list of 2010 dates and places, see the 2010 Greenstage Shakepeare in the park Performance Schedule.
Plays are offered on Thursday-Saturday nights at 7pm and Saturday and Sunday afternoon at 3pm.
