St. Louis Shakespeare Festival: Romeo & Zooliet

|Recurring Event (See all)

The 25th season of the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival begins with the masterpiece Hamlet, and free Shakespeare in Forest Park continues with the mammoth debut of the wildly fun family production Romeo & Zooliet.

Featuring dazzling animal puppetry by Michael Curry Design, which worked on The Lion King on Broadway, the imaginative stage adaption follows the animals as they stage their own Shakespeare performance.

“St. Louis Shakespeare Festival has been our close neighbor in Forest Park for many years, and we’re thrilled to collaborate on an original performance celebrating both Shakespeare and the natural world,” Michael Macek, Saint Louis Zoo director, said in a recent press release. “This impressive production will engage children and their families in the arts, telling a timeless story of friendship through the eyes of animal characters.”
