Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will return for a 50th anniversary season with a winter production of “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) - Revised,” after postponing last winter's tour of this same production.

The free performances will be staged in 29 communities in Montana and Wyoming, from Tuesday through November 20, including a date in Great Falls on Nov. 14, at the Mansfield Theater at The Civic Center. The fast-paced comedy features three actors touching on all 37 plays by the famed playwright in just 90 minutes, and is an outreach program of Montana State University’s College of Arts and Architecture.

“Though we were all disappointed to have to postpone last year’s winter tour, what we missed the most was all of you,” said Kevin Asselin, executive artistic director, in a statement. “Shakespeare has always been about the community for us, and that still holds true in our 50th season! This winter’s production is beyond phenomenal, but what will make it special is getting to share it with our friends, family, and community. We invite everyone to come out for our final tour of the 2022 season!”
