The Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance. Society gave a preview of this summer’s production of Hamlet at the Grand opening of Festival Square, next to Telegraph and across from the SAAG.

Producer Kate Connolly is excited to bring Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy to stagers all over the city this summer.

“This is our eleventh year and we were able to do this throughout Covid,” Connolly said before the show.
While the local thespians usually concentrate on the comedies, they have explored some of Shakespeare’s tragedies including Romeo and Juliet, MacBeth and the Tempest .
Connolly is excited to have a full slate of shows and new venues for this year.
“We have 17 shows this summer, which is the most we’ve ever done,” Connolly said, noting most of the July shows will be outside Casa on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m..as part of Upside Downtown.
They also have three shows at the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden, Galt Gardens, Legacy Park and road trips to the Historic Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod, Coutts Centre outside Nanton and the Venue in High River.
“We’re very excited to be part of the very popular Upside Downtown concert series ,” Connolly said.
