Penfold Theatre Company presents Comedy of Errors free-of-charge July 7-30 at the Round Rock Amphitheater.

Take one pair of estranged twin brothers (both named Antipholus); add one pair of estranged twin servants (both named Dromio); throw them in a city known for sorcery; and what do you get? Shakespeare's breeziest and most farcical comedy, overflowing with slapstick, romance, word play and, of course, mistaken identities! In this original adaptation for five actors, the Dromios and Antipholi are on the verge of finding each other after decades of separation... if only they can keep from bumbling into trouble that could land them in prison - or worse!

Directed and adpated by Ryan Crowder
Featuring Aaron Johnson, Dan Dalbout, Jessica Hughes, Rene Fulton and Andy Bond

Comedy of Errors is the sixth production in the “Penfold in the Park” series, an annual offering of free, outdoor summer theatre, made possible by a partnership with the City of Round Rock Parks & Recreation Department. Previous productions include The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged (2010), Servant of Two Masters (2011), Shipwrecked! (2013), Romeo & Juliet (2014) and Hound of the Baskervilles (2015).

“We first brought Shakespeare to the park two years ago,” remembers director, adapter and Producing Artistic Director Ryan Crowder. “Romeo & Juliet broke every single attendance record we’d had up to that point. And we’re talking whole families – from little kids all the way up – it was a hit across the board. So we’re bringing the Bard back, this time in what may be the silliest play of his entire canon. Comedy is absolutely perfect for light, fun, summer fare.”

No reservations are required. Donations are appreciated. Penfold Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Comedy of Errorsconcludes Penfold’s eighth season.
