The Ijams Visitor Center will serve as a rain space as well as the place where matinees will be performed.

Nightly performances begin at 7:30pm; doors open at 7pm. Matinee performances begin at 2:00pm; doors open at 1:30pm. Matinee and evening performances on July 27 and August 3 will be indoors for both performances. Reservations and in-person tickets are $15; Each Thursday evening performance is a Pay-What-You-Can event. Children under 15 are free.

Love’s Labour’s Lost: The King of Navarre and his three best friends swear to shut themselves away from the World and the distracting company of women for three years to devote their time to study and reflection. Enter the beautiful young Princess of France and three of her ladies in waiting to negotiate a treaty between the two countries.
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: The most famous play ever written – often proclaimed the greatest play ever – Shakespeare’s immortal story of the young Prince of Denmark who suspects his stepfather of murdering his father for the crown – and his wife. Of all Shakespeare’s plays, Hamlet is the most exciting, questioning, disturbing, spiritual, provoking, transcendent, whirling and honest.
