Residents are invited to bring a blanket, food and refreshments to enjoy the free outdoor performance.

The bucolic Ballard Park is the perfect setting for the young actors, who once shared the stage of Ridgefield High School, as they perform al fresco.

Six different scenes from some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays will be performed.

The evening was organized and brought to life by nine Ridgefield High School alumni: Matt Kirby, Sam Gravitte, Nell Kessler, Taylor Starr, Kent Coleman, Ellie Gravitte, Claire Glubiak, Allie Short and Emma Glubiak.

The event is free.
