SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare's Pericles
DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s Pericles\nJuly 29 through August 30\, with Opening Night on July 31; Time Choices: 2pm\, 7pm\, 8pm \nSanta Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Shakespeare’s Pericles\, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz’s DeLaveaga Park this summer. \nShakespeare’s brilliant late romance continues the 2025 festival’s sweep into the mythic. The first half of this rarely performed play follows Prince Pericles’ incredible journey through multiple kingdoms\, wild adventures\, desperate escapes; a magnificent love affair\, a pair of storms at sea and a single shipwreck. And that’s just part one. The second half shifts some fourteen years later to Pericles’ daughter\, Marina\, who must survive her own trials: an assassination attempt\, an abduction by pirates\, the violence of a brothel. By the power of her kindness\, wit and virtue\, she rises above each of these dangers\, finally meeting her father. The reunion of Pericles and Marina is one of the most beautiful scenes Shakespeare ever wrote. We cannot survive alone; the coming together of father and daughter is the rebirth of a world. The play ends\, indeed\, with another incredible rebirth; in love and unity\, miracles are possible. \nPericles runs July 29 through August 30\, with Opening Night on July 31. \nTickets available for purchase starting May 1. More information at santacruzshakespeare.org/season-2025 \nSeasonal box office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. beginning May 1. Call 831-460-6399. \nAbout Santa Cruz Shakespeare \nFeaturing professional actors from around the country and inspired by deep local roots that go back more than 40 years\, Santa Cruz Shakespeare stages bold productions of the plays of Shakespeare and other great playwrights that stimulate audiences’ senses and spark their imagination. ShakesEDU\, a program of Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, provides students with opportunities to learn about theatre through after-school classes\, summer intensive\, traveling troupe and more.

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream \nJuly 13 – August 31\, with Opening Night on July 18 \nSanta Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz’s DeLaveaga Park this summer. \nOne of Shakespeare’s most famous and beloved works\, Midsummer is a perfect evening of theatre\, filled with magic\, love\, wild laughter and…an ass. In the mystical forest of Arden\, the world is pulled apart and woven back together over the course of a single miraculous night. Fleeing lovers and earnest workingmen stumble into the magic of a fairy kingdom at war with itself. Hijinks and heartbreak ensue. Most famously\, the amateur actor Nick Bottom is transformed into an ass before becoming the lover of the Fairy Queen\, Titania. But by morning\, all is set aright\, and we return to Athens for a trio of marriages and an amateur performance for the ages. One of the funniest plays ever written\, Midsummer celebrates our deep need to gather together\, sacrifice and celebrate. \nTickets available for purchase starting May 1. More information at santacruzshakespeare.org/season-2025 \nSeasonal box office hours beginning May 1 are Tuesday through Friday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. Call 831-460-6399. \nAbout Santa Cruz Shakespeare \nFeaturing professional actors from around the country and inspired by deep local roots that go back more than 40 years\, Santa Cruz Shakespeare stages bold productions of the plays of Shakespeare and other great playwrights that stimulate audiences’ senses and spark their imagination.
