The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival presents "Merry Wives."
Free in 24 Parks Across Missouri and Illinois
August 1 - 27, every Tuesday-Sunday night at 6:30 p.m.

TourCo brings more free and outdoor Shakespeare productions to public parks throughout Missouri and Illinois. This year’s show is the comedic farce "The Merry Wives of Windsor" (Merry Wives), directed by Suki Peters, a veteran director for many local companies and the current Artistic Director of Cherokee Street Theater. This traveling caravan of six actors will perform a 90-minute "Merry Wives" in a 90's sitcom style where hilarious leading ladies out-wit the men.

TourCo will run Tuesday-Sundays from August 1-27 at 6:30 p.m. with an opening set for Tuesday, August 1, on Cherokee Street – a diverse arts and culture district in South St. Louis. The show ends at 8:00 p.m.

Free to attend. Best enjoyed by ages 12 and up.
Pick your night or park, and bring your own chairs, blankets and picnics.
