The City of Atlantic Beach and Apex Theatre  Studio brings you Shakespeare in the Park FREE under the stars in Johansen Park (1300 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach) April 1st and 2nd.  The show will begin at 7 pm each night.

The story follows fairy-tale favorites, including a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them with disastrous results.

The cast is comprised of students and professional teaching artists from Apex Theatre Studio under the direction of Atlanta-based director Justin Anderson.  It features a memorable score which includes Giants In The Sky, I Know Things Now, and Children Will Listen.

Audience members are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs and blankets, however, some chairs will be available. There will be food trucks set up both nights. More information on food trucks to follow.
