The performance starts at 7:00pm. However, some people may arrive as early as 5:00pm to reserve seating in the front (first-come, first-serve) as well as enjoy a picnic dinner. Since this is an outdoor event (park - grass field) and it may get chilly later in the evening, some recommended items to bring (http://www.shakespearebythesea.org/things-to-bring.html) include layered clothing (sweater, jacket, etc.), blanket, low-back folding chair, food/snacks, etc...

The two Shakespeare plays are:

All’s Well That Ends Well
"Trickery and charades abound in this raucous comedy about Helena’s unrequited love and the lengths to which she goes to win her heart’s desire. Magic cures, two rings and a disguised heroine are needed to 'trick' her love into becoming the Prince Charming he never was!"

King John
"Shakespeare’s own “Game of Thrones,” King John is filled with secret alliances, corruption and greed. It’s a poetic and powerful tale of a country’s struggle to unite under a single legitimate ruler."

The following photo is from a previous performance at the same park. Arriving early is recommended for saving a spot in the front. Seeing the stage/actors is challenging if sitting in the back. Coordinate among yourselves if any members want to meet early for sitting together.
