Shakespeare in Clark Park (archived photo).

After taking a break last summer, Shakespeare in Clark Park is resuming its annual summer productions by presenting five nights of PERICLES – from Wednesday, July 28 through Sunday, Aug. 1. Shows will be held at 7 p.m. each night and feature a troupe of tumbling circus performers.

This year SCP is offering a three-tiered seating reservation system with the following options:

• COVID-safe seating

This section is for groups that include unvaccinated or immunocompromised people. People in this section will be asked to wear a mask for the duration of the show and maintain 6-foot distance from the other groups sharing this space. COVID safe seating is limited. Please go here for more details and to reserve your space.

• Vaccinated seating

If you and other members of your group are fully vaccinated (at least two weeks from your final COVID vaccine shot) you may reserve seating in this space. Go here for more details and to reserve your space.

• Open seating

You can also show up without a reservation to any show. Please note that masks will not be required for open seating. Unvaccinated folks are still recommended to wear a mask or facial covering.

All shows will be held in Clark Park’s “Bowl” near 43rd and Chester. For last-minute updates and weather-related announcements, please follow SCP on Twitter or Facebook.
