Theatre happens anywhere intrepid audiences and actors meet! Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome actors from Theatreworks Colorado Springs for a performance of Shakespeare. Going strong since summer 2019, Theatreworks' joyful, mobile production of 2GENTS is a 70-minute abridged version of Two Gentlemen of Verona in which two best friends fall for the same person - who then takes them on a romping adventure to prove that all's fair in love and war. Packed full of dogs, enchanted forests, and Shakespearean hijinks, this show is appropriate for the oldest to the youngest, and everyone in between.
