Stage Write

One of my favorite annual Indy traditions is back this weekend! The Indianapolis Shakespeare Company (formerly Heartland Actors' Repertory Theatre) is presenting As You Like It at White River State Park tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday. The show start at 8 pm, but the pre-show festivities begin at 6 pm.  Every year the productions are incredible and so much fun. Professional actors take the stage for only three days during this FREE event. There will be food trucks and Sun King Brewery will be serving a special "As You Like It" beer. Don't miss it!

One of my favorite annual Indy traditions is back this weekend! The Heartland Actors' Repertory Theatre is presenting The Winter's Tale at White River State Park tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. The shows start at 8 pm, but the pre-show festivities begin at 6 pm.  Every year the Shakespeare on the Canal productions are incredible and so much fun. Professional actors take the stage for only three days during this FREE event. There will be food trucks and Sun King Brewery will be serving. Don't miss it! Visit their website here for more info. Seriously people, Indy is so lucky to have an outdoor Shakespeare event that is free and put on by amazingly talented people. Grab a Sun King brew, bring a picnic or buy food there, whatever you do, just get thee to the park!
