This summer, we bring you a “campy” musical theater world premiere, based on William Shakespeare’s The Tempest at the Ruggard Gazebo in Villa Park. Saint Genesius Productions is delighted to present this brand new show, written by Jared Goudsmit and Merrick Schnider! Magic, merit badges, competing leadership styles, and summer romance take center stage at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 28 & 29 and August 4 & 5.
The event is FREE, but there’s a suggested donation of $15 per person to benefit Saint Genesius Productions. Thanks to the generosity of Villa Park’s Village staff and the wonderful folks at the Park department, we’ll be able to bring these four live performances to the public square for all to enjoy. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs for a front row seat!
