Two nights only. Two chances to dazzle. Picnics encouraged. Magic guaranteed.

Admission is complimentary. Reserve your spot below.

Join us beneath the stars for The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare’s timeless “sit-com” brimming with wit, charm, and romantic mischief. The infamously philandering Sir John Falstaff sets his sights on wooing two clever, married women— only to find himself the target of their hilarious and heartfelt revenge. Originally penned at the request of Queen Elizabeth I, this delightful comedy is a celebration of love, laughter, and well-deserved comeuppance.

Brought to life by Oklahoma Shakespeare under the direction of Kris Kuss, with standout performances by Lance Marsh and David Weber, this delightful production is staged in the spirit of community and summer magic.

And what’s a summer evening without a feast?
