After a five-year absence, Footlighters Theatre Society is reviving Shakespeare in the Park (or Something Like It), bringing an evening of scenes, speeches, sonnets and soliloquies back to Millennium Park.

“We’re maintaining our regular schedule of musicals and plays, but this is an aspect of theatre we’ve really been missing,” said co-producer Brian Lawrence. “We’re looking forward to bringing some of this great work back to the stage.”

Shakespeare in the Park will run Aug. 20-22 on the Millennium Park stage. Anyone interested in performing is asked to call co-producer Gail Kitt at 250-428-9415.
