About This Event

This summer, the Cedar Grove Meadow in Bidwell Park transforms into a mythic island inspired by ancient Greek gods and goddesses, brought to life through story, movement, and stunning soundscapes. Sweeping and elemental, this lush re-imagining of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest blends humor and humanity, inviting audiences to witness the cost of power and the radical rewards of reconciliation and love.

Performances run Thurs-Sun, June 4-14 at the Cedar Grove Meadow in Bidwell Park. Doors and live pre-show entertainment from popular local musicians begin at 7PM and the main show begins at 8PM each evening. Tickets are available now at www.legacystage.org.

Shakespeare in the Park has become a summer tradition for North State audiences, bringing accessible outdoor professional theatre to the community in one of Chico’s most beautiful outdoor settings.
