Shakespeare on the Cape at Mashpee Commons
Lissa Daly
Enjoy the bard outdoors with performances by Shakespeare on the Cape on Friday, August 1st at Mashpee Commons. Kiddie Shakes, their ½ hour narrated version of The Tempest for kids of all ages will begin at 5:00pm and a full performance of The Tempest is scheduled for 6:30pm. Both performances are free and sponsored by the merchants of Mashpee Commons. In the event of inclement weather, a rain date of Aug. 8th is planned.
Shakespeare on the Cape is an ambitious theater company founded by graduates of the Guthrie Theater/University of Minnesota BFA Actor Training Program in Minneapolis. Their mission is to create clear, unexpected and text-intensive productions with a dedication to emerging artists. In a review by Debbie Forman of the Cape Cod Times, their production was said to be “A zany performance with the actors’ frantic antics speeding you from one laugh to the next.”

It had better not rain! I’ve planned a special vacation trip just for that kids’ Tempest production! I’ve told the story of the Tempest to my girls, who are 4 and 6, for quite some time. You’ve gotta love it when you hear a 3 yr old playing dolls with Dora, Barbie, Miranda and Caliban.

Thanks for the extra details, I had no idea how long the show was going to be.
