Annual Shakespearean tradition

Celebrate the joy of theater this weekend during Shakespeare by the Sea with a performance of “The Winter’s Tale” starring Darryl Willis, left, and Carley George.

Summer is here, and that can only mean one thing for theater fans: it’s time to make the annual trek to Carlin Park for the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival’s “Shakespeare by the Sea.” The event celebrates 35 years with a performance of the Bard’s “The Winter’s Tale.” One of Shakespeare’s most intriguing plays, the story blends tragedy, romance and redemption as a jealous king unravels his family, only to seek forgiveness and healing. It’s a fantastic way to introduce teens to the Bard — or simply enjoy a night of live theater under the stars.

Shakespeare by the Sea, “The Winter’s Tale”: Performances run Thursday, July 10 through Sunday, July 13 and again from July 17–20. The show begins at 8 p.m. Seabreeze Amphitheater at Carlin Park, 750 S. FL A1A Hwy., Jupiter. Info: 561-762-8552 or pbshakespeare.org.
