Shakespeare & Company will host its first-ever dog-friendly performance, an outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, staged in the Arthur S. Waldstein Amphitheatre. The initiative was launched by General Manager Steve Ball, who co-leads Shakespeare & Company’s Merry Wanderers’ Tours in the summer with his chocolate lab, Willie. Dogs must be leashed and well-behaved, and complimentary canine companion seats will be offered to those dogs who may need their own. In the event the show must be moved inside due to weather, exchange tickets will be offered to patrons with dogs. The evening will also feature Charlie’s Bistro Bus, one of several food trucks visiting Shakespeare & Company on select nights throughout the summer to serve dinners and snacks outside of the Tina Packer Playhouse from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Concessions and a full bar are also available at Josie’s Place in the playhouse lobby. Anyone is welcome to visit the grounds during this time to enjoy a picnic or stroll around the 33-acre campus, regardless of if they are ticket-holders.
