With the winter weather we experience here in Minnesota, it’s always fun to spend as much time outdoors as we can in the summer months. Why not catch an outdoor theater performance?

Once again this summer, the Classical Actors Ensemble will be performing in various Twin Cities parks. All performances are FREE and open to the public between June 12 – July 12!

This year’s play will be The Tempest. Picnics are encouraged, as are patrons of all ages. You can register for your performance date HERE to receive updates about the location and possible weather alerts.

About The Tempest:

After 12 years in exile on a deserted island, a scholarly mage shipwrecks his enemies in his magical domain, putting them at his mercy. Having now the upper hand, he must choose between a path of revenge or redemption.
