Wherefore art thou Romeo? He’s at the lake.
The Lakeside Theatre to be exact.
The Las Vegas Shakespeare Company and Garfield’s Restaurant open the Shakespeare on the Lake series at 7 p.m. today at the Lakeside Theatre, 2620 Regatta Drive, in Desert Shores.
The Shakespeare on the Lake season features ” Shakespeare’s Roses,” a 90-minute one-man show which takes a look into the emotions of a very human Shakespeare; a special adaptation of “Hamlet”; and “A Taste of Shakespeare,” a compilation of four Shakespeare classics distilled into 20-minute performances of ” Romeo & Juliet,” “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Macbeth” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
The season runs Fridays through Sundays through Feb. 27, holidays excepted, with each play performed every weekend.
