Shakespeare In The Park
Saturday, Aug. 2 at 6pm

Island Park, Geneva (Rt. 25 & State St.)

The Geneva Foundation for the Arts is bringing Shakespeare in the Park to Geneva!

A free* evening of culture and comedy for all ages!

FREE ADMISSION!*

  • Family friendly event    

  • Seating begins at 4 p.m.

Goodly Creatures Theatre will perform William Shakespeare's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Join us for a night of comedy and culture in the park!  In Shakespeare’s wittiest and wildest rom-com, Beatrice and Benedick are ferociously independent individuals who have steadfastly avoided sharing their lives with anyone but themselves… until now. Despite their best efforts to remain single, falling for one another is inevitable.

Parking is available at the Kane County Government Center, 719 Batavia Ave. Follow the trail north and cross the bridge across the Fox River to Island Park. Parking is also available in downtown Geneva public parking lots. 

Please check our website and facebook page on event day for any weather-related updates! Performing Company Facebook page: Geneva Shakespeare in the Park.
