Montana Shakespeare in the Parks

What better thing to do on a late summer evening than catch a Shakespeare play in the University of Montana Oval. Two seperate shows will be performed, one at 6 p.m. each night. The first night they will be performing "The Taming of the Shrew" and the second night will be "Cymbeline." The Bozeman group travels the state all summer, so if you can't wait, check the tour schedule and make a trip out of it. Best of all it is free for all to enjoy.

Missoula and throughout Montana
