See Henry IV Part I at Arch Park on July 21st in Gardiner!  Shakespeare’s coming-of-age play. While King Henry IV is burdened with escalating rebellion, his son Prince Hal has forsaken all responsibility to carouse with the drunken but fun-loving Falstaff. But Hal has to make a choice and will eventually have to prove his worth.

As always, the play is completely FREE. Bring a picnic, a blanket, and enjoy a night of professional theatre under the Big Sky.  You can catch The Merry Wives of Windsor at Chico Hot Springs on July 22nd.
