About this project:
The production of Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona was originally part of a summer-long residency with the Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona, MN, where UT Knoxville’s Graduate MFA Acting Company also understudied roles in The Comedy of Errors and Romeo and Juliet. This production was created to be performed in intimate community settings, allowing actors and audiences to be close to one another in space. By using simple storytelling techniques, the beauty of Shakespeare’s poetry, wordplay, story, and characters comes to life—becoming as accessible and fun as it was originally meant to be.
Don’t miss this unique and engaging production!

About The Two Gentlemen of Verona:
Best friends Valentine and Proteus travel from Verona to Milan to become gentlemen. But the course of growing up never did run smooth. Amid competitors, clowns, parents, and one unforgettable dog, these young friends—and the tenacious women they love—stumble through romance, betrayal, and reconciliation.
At turns silly and profound, Shakespeare’s first comedy asks timeless questions of youth: Who must I become to get what I want in life? Do I stay true to myself or shape myself to the world? Is what I want now what I’ll want tomorrow?
