SHAKESPEARE IN PROSPECT PARK
3PM - Sat. June 27 and Sunday June 28

Did you know that the Troy Hidden Garden Tour is an annual fundraiser put on by Friends of Prospect Park? Your ticket purchase to the tour helps fund improvements to the park as well as free family entertainment, including live theater, circus shows, and summer camps.

This weekend, Will Kempe’s Players returns to Prospect Park for two performances of William Shakespeare’s "Much Ado About Nothing." Both shows are free, starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28.

These performances are outdoors. Please bring seating!

The performances take place near the gazebo overlooking the fantastic view of Troy. Follow the roads to any nearby parking area and you’ll see the setup in the adjacent large open field. The players tend to stay under the trees as much as possible for shade.

⚠️ In case of inclement weather, please check the Will Kempe’s Players website or social media to confirm the location. The rain location is Christ Church UMC at 35 State St., Troy, NY.

Come enjoy free Shakespeare in the park this weekend! 🎭
