FREE Shakespeare Frequently Asked Questions
Summer
Tour 2019–The
Two Gentlemen of Verona
What
Is Your Inclement Weather Policy?
It is
our desire to complete every performance, and we will make every
effort to start, continue, and finish each show through light
rainfall or breezy conditions.
If the
weather deteriorates suddenly, however, we may delay the start of the
show, or the completion of the show, in the hope that things clear.
Announcements will be made informing audience members of such
"holds." We may also pause to take precautions to ensure
the safety and health of the performers and crew (such as drying off
the rubber mats that serve as our stage).
If
heavier rains are predicted, shows will be moved to an indoor
location. To find out if a show is taking place at an alternate
venue, please check our Facebook page.
The
inclement weather location for Thursday (Belmont Park) and Saturday
(Cooper Park) is Turbine Flats, 2124 Y Street.
The
inclement weather location for Friday (Trago Park) and Sunday
(Havelock Park) is the Haymarket Theatre, 803 Q Street.
Do
I Need a Reservation?
No
reservations are needed. However, audience members are strongly
encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before the performance time (7 p.m.)
in order to have good seats or places. This is particularly true if
you plan on using a blanket, as space is limited. This is also true
if you want to enjoy some free Ivanna Cone ice cream, which will be
served before the show.
Is
There a Cost to Attend?
No!
Flatwater Shakespeare Company offers the summer touring production
FREE of charge. A $10 donation for each adult is recommended for
those who can afford it, but everyone is welcome regardless of
whether or not you can make a contribution.
Good
Will Donations in all amounts are greatly appreciated as we continue
our tradition of producing Good Will Shakespeare productions.
When
Do Shows Start and How Long Do They Run?
Performances
begin at 7:00 p.m. and run 75 minutes, without intermission.
Is
the Show “Family Friendly?”
An informal park setting is perfect for families to try a taste of the Bard's wonderful characters, exciting action, and brilliant language. This lively and engaging production features music and dance, along with an actor portraying Crab, a dog. Previous audiences have included everyone from babies to people in their 80s, people of wide-ranging backgrounds, people with disabilities, and even some pets.

You
Mean Pets Are Allowed?
Furry
family members are welcome to attend a performance with you! We
request that dogs be kept on a leash. Pet owners must clean up after
their critters.
Are
the Locations Accessible?
All
park locations should be accessible for most mobility considerations;
however, there may be uneven ground in some areas and limited parking
options.
If you
have a specific need, please contact Flatwater Shakespeare Company at
402-319-2895. We will do our best to accommodate you.
Are
Restroom Facilities Available?
Yes!
All locations will have either restrooms or port-a-potties.
Do
I Need to Bring My Own Chair or Blanket?
A
limited number of chairs will be available. Audience members are
encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets for the
performances.
May
I Bring Food and Beverages?
Audience
members are welcome to bring in snacks, even a picnic supper, for you
and your family. In all cases, we ask that trash items are disposed
of after the show so that we leave the performance locations in good
condition.
Please
note that alcoholic beverages cannot be brought to any of the park
locations.
Will
Concessions Be Available?
Again,
there will be FREE ICE CREAM before the show! Ivanna Cone is again
creating a new ice cream flavor exclusively for our summer touring
production.
