The Winter’s Tale

Children’s Shakespeare Theatre Comes to Nyack with The Winter’s Tale
Friday November 20th and Saturday November 21st at 7pm
At The Nyack Center, 58 Depew Avenue, Nyack, NY 10960

The Winter’s Tale is the story of an angry man whose bad behavior threatens to ruin everything. Join our company of children ages seven to fifteen as we perform this classic Shakespeare story of choosing hope over despair; despite heartbreak and hard times happiness can be found again. This play contains Shakespeare’s most famous stage direction, “Exit, pursued by a bear.” Watch as the children of our community play royalty, shepherds, servants, and thieves. Bring your families and share the experience of young people connecting with Shakespearean text and telling a timeless tale.
