Arts in the Park Shakespeare no date
A live theater performance of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2020, at Northshore Park, located at 2505 Lake Woodlands Drive in The Woodlands, Texas 77381.

Welcome to a bold new take on The Tempest, William Shakespeare’s comedy adventure, in a performance set in the 1960s (exactly one week before the fated sailing of the SS Minnow). On a mysterious desert island, the magician Prospero – the deposed former ruler of Milan – uses the sprite Ariel to cause a massive storm resulting in a shipwreck in a grand scheme to get his throne back from his usurping brother and to find true love for his daughter Miranda. With drunken sailors searching for survivors, a witch’s evil son planning mutiny, and even a visit from some Roman goddesses, The Tempest provides fun for the entire family, featuring a pre-show concert and music during the performance by The Woodlands Symphony Brass.
