Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company Presents Summer Season at Dog Story Theater in Grand Rapids

he Grand Haven based Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will present Love's Labour's Lost at the Dog Story Theater, 7 Jefferson SE in Grand Rapids as part of the company's summer tour. Love's Labour's Lost will play June 21-24 and June 28-July 1.  Performance times are Thursday-Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 3:00 p.m..

Love's Labour's Lost is a witty comedy in which the King of Navarre and the lords in his court take a vow to study for three years and not to see any women during that time.  Their vow is immediately threatened by a visit from the Princess of France and her ladies in waiting, who come to Navarre on an embassy from the French king.  The court of Navarre becomes the backdrop for disguise, romantic intrigue, and a play-within-a-play as the King and his lords attempt to woo the ladies of France.

Pigeon Creek's production features actors Kathleen Bode, Kilian Goodson, Brooke Heintz, Kat Hermes, Zachary Johnson, Scott Lange, Janna Rosenkranz, Sarah Stark, Joel L. Schindlbeck, Sarah Tryon, Joseph Valente, and Chelsea Wojes.

This production features the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company's lively, audience-interactive performance style, including live music before the shows and at intermission.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for students and seniors.  Thursday evening performances are pay-what-you-will admission.  Tickets are available at http://www.dogstorytheater.com.
