Also this weekend at Skagit Valley College’s Phillip Tarro Theatre: the final performances of The Taming of the Shrew (Saturday 8/14, 2pm) and Antony & Cleopatra (Saturday 8/14, 8pm and Sunday 8/15, 2pm). Don’t miss your last chance to experience these fantastic shows!
Shakespeare Northwest proudly presents the Bard’s tempestuous, treacherous, tragic love story for the Ages. Director Trey Hatch emphasizes the tortuously compelling dimensions of the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra, a play that cannot be readily categorized, having aspects simultaneously of a tragedy, a romance, and a theatrical history. Trey has distilled the human elements of this challenging piece into an intense and immediate experience not to be missed.

When a seedy, chain-smoking, tattooed Cupid gets involved in the life-learning travels of Valentine and Proteus, their friendship is strained as they both fall for the same woman.
Shakespeare Northwest invites you to a fun, rollicking tale of love, lust, betrayal, friendship, scorned cross-dressing women, banished cross-dressing outlaws, rich self-absorbed suitors, smart-ass servants, wise silent dogs, beautiful daughters lodged in upper towers, and much more!
