The two gentlemen of verona
July 19 - 27, 2025
TT’s 35th Annual “Shakespeare in the Park”
Valentine and Proteus are best friends. That is, until they meet Silvia, and their lifelong friendship is put in serious jeopardy. Can they all find their happily-ever-after?
A love triangle, a forest, disguises, and a dog – The Two Gentlemen of Verona has it all. Shakespeare’s gloriously silly story of love, friendship and growing up bursts onto the Telluride Theatre stage in honor of our 35th Anniversary of Shakespeare in the Park.
Our take on Shakespeare’s classic comedy draws inspiration from 1990’s rom-coms, and features live music and an all-star cast of local actors. Join us ON the Town Park Stage for one of our town’s most beloved traditions.
