Barefoot Shakespeare is proud to bring this production to life for their 11th Season producing free Shakespeare in Central Park. The Winter's Tale will be directed by Barefoot Artistic Director and President, Emily Gallagher.

Step into the web of Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale," where time slips through fingers like grains of sand and the stubborn weed of jealousy takes root, choking out reason and sowing discord. In this tale of tangled narratives and generational trauma, powerful women stand as pillars of support and strength, cultivating gardens of forgiveness amidst the barren landscape of lost time. Join us for a journey where stories intertwine like vines as hope blossoms, and where the only certainty is the transformative power of love. Presented free of charge, at Summit Rock, Central Park.

This summer's cast includes alumni and friends:  Laurel Andersen, Carl Bindman, Andrew Dunn, Johnny Gottsegen, Kelly Blaze, Malavika Nair, Joe Raik, Tyler Riley, Regina Russell, Emily Thaler, and Ray Wilbur.
