KGLP Station Manager Rachel Kaub visits with the cast and crew of Gallup Rep's 2019 Shakespeare Festival:

“All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts.” - As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7

The Bard of Avon comes to Gallup this summer!

2 weekends. 2 Plays. Dozens of actors.

Gallup Repertory Theater is proud to present the first-ever annual Gallup Shakespeare in the Park festival, running June 13 - 22, 2019. In cooperation with Gallup Land Partners, the plays will be held at a newly-created outdoor performance space on 9th Street, just north of the Gallup Flea Market.

This year the Shakespeare Festival will feature a mainstage performance of Twelfth Night and a children’s theater production of The Taming of the Shrew.

All shows are free, but bring a chair and blanket, and possibly bug spray and / or an umbrella, depending on conditions.

Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, who must disguise herself as a man named “Cesario” after a shipwreck brings her to a strange country. She falls in love with Orsino, a duke who is pining after the Countess Olivia. Olivia falls in love with Cesario, thus setting up one of Shakespeare’s most hilarious love triangles. Tinged with a hint of heartbreak, Twelfth Night is a madcap play you won’t want to miss.

Time and Place

Twelfth Night: June 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22 at 7:00 PM

The Taming of the Shrew: June 21 and 22 at 5:30 PM

Both the children’s and mainstage plays will be held at the outdoor stage and performance space just north of the Flea Market.

Every single performance during the festival is free, but again, bring a chair and blanket, and possibly bug spray and / or an umbrella, depending on conditions.
