Nov. 16 - Nov. 18, 2017
Thursday-Saturday
The Magik Theatre, San Antonio’s professional family theatre, presents Shakespeare on the River - a FREE event celebrating all things Shakespeare. Theatre-goers can come early to enjoy food trucks along Villita Way and short Shakespeare performances by local performers. The highlight of this event is Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre’s The Taming of the Shrew. The company returns to San Antonio for a second year, having performed Twelfth Night at last year’s Shakespeare in the Park.
“Their take on this beloved comedy is very family-friendly, making it a great fit for Magik’s mission,” said Magik’s Artistic Director Frances Limoncelli. “It’s the perfect way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare.”
From Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre: "Grab a seat close to the stage as AST transports you back to the lively and colorful days of old world Italy, where embracing adventure, music, and above all, passion was a way of life. Through a flurry of song and spectacle, join the rambunctious and arrogant Petruchio in his quest to woo the unimpressed and headstrong "Kate the Cursed." Inspired by Italian traditions of puppetry and commedia dell'arte, our players bring the audience right into the middle of the action. So come ready to play--we can't tell the story without you!"
