This will be the 17th Annual Shakespeare in the Park event at the George W. Johnson Park in Endicott, presented by the Endicott Performing Arts Center. This year the EPAC Youth Troupe will present an abridged version of, "A Mid Summer Night's Dream", August 19th - 22nd, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7pm, and Sunday afternoon at 2pm.
Recently EPAC has been bringing Shakespeare productions back to the park with abridged versions more suitable for modern day audiences. Especially for today's young people experiencing Shakespeare for the first time. Last year, EPAC had to cancel the annual Shakespeare in the Park event due to the Pandemic, but IT'S BACK and this year the Youth Troupe will present a condensed PUNK version of "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" at the Stage in Little Italy in the George W. Johnson park. This production is Directed by Dustin Hirthler with assistance from Pat Foti, and performed by an amazing group of young local thespians.
The EPAC Youth Troupe is VERY Excited to perform for Live Audiences at the park again. They can't wait to hear the Applause and Appreciation of family and friends enjoying Live Entertainment!
