Shakespeare Royal Oak to Host AMORE AT THE MARKET 6/23
This summer will mark Water Works Theatre Company's 17th season presenting Shakespeare Royal Oak, the largest outdoor Shakespeare event in Michigan. The festival will present three theatrical productions: The Taming Of The Shrew as its featured evening show; an original production, Shakespeare In Love and War, as its daylight presentation; and Hamlet directed and produced by Water Works Teen Ensemble. The festival will also welcome performance-minded students in grades K-8 to its unique outdoor education experience KidsAct!
Amore at the Market will feature a special performance of Kiss Me, Shrew!, an original Shakespeare musical review, and a scene from Romeo & Juliet performed by past participants of Shakespeare Royal Oak's outdoor education programs. The event also includes a cash bar, dessert table, fan making table, and more.
