CAESAR Brings Shakespeare in the Park to Brooklyn 8/27

brooklynONE productions (bkONE) presents William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Celebrating its 4th year, brooklynONE productions brings back its annual Brooklyn Shakespeare Festival.

"Producing outdoor Shakespeare is a time honored NYC tradition," said Anthony Marino, Artistic Director. "And we are thrilled to bring back our Brooklyn Shakespeare Festival to Bay Ridge."

"Coming to a spot like the one in Owls Head Park is incredibly inspiring," added Hannah Giddings, Production Coordinator and Actor. "I've been involved in the last 2 festivals, but this year we proactively rehearsed in the park, and it's taken our level of creative up, what's better than Shakespeare in the summer?"

brooklynONE productions has produced the Brooklyn Shakespeare Festival since 2012, and each year the productions get larger and more complex, with a growing audience base.

This version of Julius Caesar is adapted in a modern style and abridged to allow for multiple performances throughout the day. brooklynONE will also provide lite snacks and water/juice for sale at the show. Make sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket to best enjoy the experience!

"As always its rain or shine, and we know it's going to be an incredible show, our cast is phenomenal. Said Anthony Marino. "We are also super excited to offer a twilight version of the show, the 6pm sunset edition will be a lot fun, we can't wait to see everyone!"
