Shakespeare Under the Stars Returns!

The Driftwood Theatre Group will bring the tragic story of Othello to life in Centennial Park on July 19th.

INGERSOLL - The Ingersoll Cheese and Agricultural Museum plays hosts Driftwood Theatre's production of Shakespeare's tragedy Othello.

The play will be set against the backdrop of Canadian history, when in 1974 Canadian soldiers are caught in a life or death struggle on the island of Cyprus. On July 19th at 7:30pm in you can experience Shakespeare in a new way in Centennial Park.

Museum Curator Scott Gillies tells Heart FM how some viewers watch the performance.

"On a blanket or one of the picnic tables in the park, and they claim their spot, because it is the theatre in the rounds so no matter where you sit you'll always have a good view."

The admission for the event is pay what you can.

Gillies explains why they keep having Shakespeare Under the Stars as a reoccurrence.

"Driftwood puts on a fabulous show. It is incredible what they are able to do with minimalist stage draws you right into the performance. It is a magical moment to sit back and watch the play unfold as the stars come out."
