Shakespeare in the Park: The Tempest

Shakespeare in the Park is a summer tradition. The event is presented for free in the glen adjacent to the St Louis Art Museum. The play starts at 8:15 pm but half the fun is picnicking and visiting before the show.

Dinner and drinks are available on-site, provided by Steve's Hot Dogs and The Fountain on Locust, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The menu features a selection of sandwiches, salads, hotdogs, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests are welcome to bring in their own refreshments as well, but please avoid any glass containers.

This summer, the troupe will perform "The Tempest"
After a violent storm, travelers wash ashore on a mysterious island where nothing is quite as it seems. Ruled by Prospero – a mother and sorcerer haunted by betrayal – the island becomes a place where old wounds resurface. As tensions rise between Prospero, her daughter, and the brother who stole her future, magic, romance, and mischief bloom. The Tempest is a spellbinding story of forgiveness, love, and finding your way home.
