Shakespeare in the Parks to perform all across Southwest Montana in late summer

"All the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players," William Shakespeare famously wrote in Act II of "As You Like It" back in the year 1599.  Here in the year 2024, the literal stage will be set across several Southwest Montana parks and the players will be the men and women of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks with several upcoming performances scheduled in our area throughout the next several weeks.
