This show is best for school-age kids and their families, but all are welcome to attend. If you can't make it to the show at the library but would still like to see it, visit the Shakespeare Festival website for more free performances.

Please note: Children must be accompanied by an adult age 16 or older at all summer activities. If you have questions about supervision requirements, please ask!
