River Junction arts Council in collaboration with the National Eagle Center and the Great River Shakespeare Festival are proud to present “The Two Gentlemen of Verona”. A classic Shakespeare comedy, preformed by six actors, from the Great River Shakespeare Festival. "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" Best friends Valentine and Proteus travel from Verona to Milan to become gentlemen. But the course of growing up never did run smooth. Amidst competitors, clowns, parents, and one unforgettable dog, these young friends—and the tenacious women they love—stumble through romance, betrayal, and reconciliation. At turns silly and profound, Shakespeare’s first comedy asks timeless questions of youth: Who must I become to get what I want in life? Do I stay true to myself or shape myself to the world?

Filled with physical hijinks, clever wordplay, and some of Shakespeare’s most accessible poetry, this production celebrates the spectacular upheaval of falling in love and the exhilarating turbulence of coming of age. Directed by Katie Lupica Wednesday, July 23, 7 p.m. National Eagle Center Amphitheater, Wabasha, MN This performance is free and is sponsored by the River Junctions Arts Council and the National Eagle Center. No ticket is needed, but [...]
