SUMMARY:St. Paul - Summer on the Lawn: Shakespeare in Our Parks
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) enthusiastically welcomes Classical Actors Ensemble back to the MHC front lawn for the 11th season of Shakespeare in Our Parks. This season\, the Classical Actors Ensemble will present one of William Shakespeare’s lesser-known comedies\, “All’s Well That Ends Well.” Follow the trials and tribulations of the heroine Helena as she faces deception\, duress\, and death in her quest to win the heart of the snobbish and nowhere-near-good-enough-for-her Bertram. Guffaw\, jeer\, and cheer as a memorable cast of characters galivant through royal courts and battlefields and satirize social mores. \nPicnics\, lawn chairs\, sun umbrellas\, and blankets are welcome. Note that the performance is in an open field with minimal shade. Please plan accordingly. Restrooms will be available for use at the Minnesota Humanities Event Center. Can’t make it on July 13? Check out Classical Actors Ensemble’s full calendar for other performances across the Twin Cities this summer. \nFrom Classical Actors Ensemble: “The Theater is a sacred place. It is a public forum where actors and audience gather to contemplate what it means to be human. Shakespeare and his contemporaries grappled with that question in some of the English language’s best poetry\, leaving behind a canon of compelling stories with universal themes that provide invigorating challenge for actors and an awe-inspiring legacy for audiences. Classical Actors Ensemble performs the plays of the English Renaissance as they were originally intended: as popular entertainment for everyone. By demonstrating why these works of art are considered classic\, we freshly prove their relevance in today’s world.” \nThis event is part of MHC’s 2025 summer “Summer on the Lawn” series. \nRegistration\nRegistration is encouraged but not required. There is no cost to attend. \nRegister Now
