This summer, Animal Fire Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA. Shakespeare fans know that this comedy of love and friendship lost and found again is a true time capsule of its age and of sixteenth century ideas about how love and relationships should work. Today, some of these ideas have been discarded and others have been allowed to change form and linger. Animal Fire chose this comedy as their followup to Hamlet and Julius Caesar because it engages with issues far more present in our modern world with a joviality guaranteed to please. Staged with a sharp wit and packed to the brim with comic delights, the show features some of Olympia’s best talent, music and even “a bit with a dog”.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona runs July 24th – August 10th. During the first weekend, you will find the show at Animal Fire’s old home of Priest Point Park, July 24th – 26th at 7 pm and July 27th at 2 pm. The show goes on tour during it’s second weekend, with two 7 pm stops on July 31st and August 1st at the Tumwater Farmer’s Market, at the southwest corner of Capitol Boulevard and Israel Road, plus a 2 pm matinee at the Griswold Building in downtown Olympia, 310 4th Ave E. The troupe returns to Priest Point Park for closing weekend, with 7 pm shows August 7th, and 8th  and 2 pm matinees on August 9th and 10th. All shows are free to the public and guests are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets.
