Join American Players Theatre for the opening night of The Two "Gentlemen" of Verona. Award-winning playwright Aaron Posner breathes new life into one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, and features music by composer and co-lyricist Greg Kotis. Dubbed "The Almost-Musical Hit of the Summer," this fresh adaptation walks up to the line of a musical and straps on a banjo, giving the production a heart-filling, Americana kick. The story follows childhood friends Proteus and Valentine as their relationships are tested and promises are broken when they both fall in love with Silvia in Milan. Complete with a live jug band, a couple of clowns, a group of outlaws, and one uncanny dog, it is a poetic, feel-good event where Shakespearean verse still rings from every stanza.

Searching for a connection to his past while his family attempts to anchor him in the present, Dontrell embarks on a lyrical, funny, and theatrical exploration of love, legacy, and self-discovery.
