PARK PLAYERS PRESENTS

Thursday through Sunday, August 19-22, and Thursday through Saturday, August 26-28, in Caldwell Park on Highland Avenue.

Who We Are
Park Players is an outdoor theatrical organization dedicated to the performance of quality plays, including the works of William Shakespeare. Our Outdoor Community Theatre is a great forum for presenting quality family entertainment. Our season runs June, July and August and our current home is Caldwell Park, in Birmingham Alabama.

What to Bring
Our theatrical experience is in the tradition of Shakespeare In The Park so there is no formal seating. We invite everyone to bring either a blanket, cushion or lawn chair to sit on. We ask that the patrons sitting in chairs please leave a space at the front of the stage for blankets. Also, if you have blanket, you are invited to sit on the hill to see over the patrons in chairs. (Be advised: the mosquitoes seem to like outdoor theater too. So bring your bug spray!)

What NOT to Bring
Please do not bring cell phones, pagers, car alarms, house alarms, fire alarms, those annoying watches that beep every five minutes, any recording device or any other noise making device that might distract the actors.

All shows are at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at show time: $7 for adults ($5 for seniors and students) and under 16 FREE.
