UNF English Department Presents Annual Shakespeare-in-the-Park Season

Posted on April 4, 2017

The University of North Florida’s Department of English, in collaboration with the City of Atlantic Beach Department of Parks and Recreation and the Church of the Good Shepherd, will present the eighth annual Shakespeare-in-the-Park performance, designed to present authentic, accessible and bold productions of Shakespeare’s plays for contemporary audiences.
Questions about justice, mercy, license and what constitutes government of the self and the state characterize “Measure for Measure,” one of Shakespeare’s late tragicomedies. Directed by Dr. Pam Monteleone, UNF associate professor of English, the cast features University students and members of the Jacksonville community. All productions are free and open to the public.
The production opens 8 p.m. Thursday, April 6, and will repeat 8 p.m. both Friday, April 7, and Saturday April 8, on the UNF Green, in front of the Fine Arts Center, Building 45.
The show will travel to Johansen Park in Atlantic Beach for performances 8 p.m. Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15, with a rain date set for 8 p.m. Sunday, April 16. Catering will be available during the Atlantic Beach performances beginning at 7 p.m. Some chairs will be provided; patrons may also bring their own chairs/blankets.
The final performances will take place 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 27, and Friday, April 28, in Worsham Hall at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 1100 Stockton Street in Jacksonville. Friday’s performance will be followed by a panel discussion on issues raised by the play.
