Huntsville Botanical Garden and UAH partner for Shakespeare in the Garden

Transport to “fair Verona” or journey to the imaginary seacoast of Bohemia as Huntsville Botanical Garden and UAH’s Huntsville Shakespeare present Shakespeare in the Garden. All are invited to experience alternating performances of Shakespeare’s theatrical masterpieces, Romeo and Juliet and The Winter’s Tale, held in the amphitheater at Huntsville Botanical Garden (HBG).

On July 26, August 3, and August 9 at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.), Shakespeare’s greatest love story takes the stage. This 90-minute version of Romeo and Juliet is a family-friendly way to experience the timeless tale of love and tragedy between two star-crossed lovers!

For those looking for an alternative to teenage romance, performances of The Winter’s Tale will be held on July 27, August 2, and August 10 at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.). Witness the 90-minute family-friendly version of a captivating story of jealousy, forgiveness, and redemption, where ancient Greek oracles coexist with Renaissance sculptors and “what’s past is prologue.”
