THE 2025 SUMMER SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
SYT’s annual Summer Shakespeare Festival returns to the Crane Theater for its third consecutive year, to present in rotating-repertory Shakespeare’s two magical, late-period romance masterpieces: The Tempest and The Winter’s Tale.
The Tempest is a revenge-story that ends in joy: the magician Prospero, betrayed by his brother and cast down from his dukedom, must balance his one chance at payback with the duties of being a single-parent, all on the way to forging a new life for himself and those he loves.
The Winter’s Tale is a story that crosses seas and decades. The mad jealousy of King Leontes has horrifying consequences for his family and nation, until in one of Shakespeare’s most stunning conclusions, he (as well as the audience) are witness to a justifiable miracle.
Performing July 18 - August 3, 2025 at the Crane Theater in Minneapolis.
The Crane Theater is located at 2303 Kennedy St NE UNIT 120, Minneapolis, MN 55413 (behind the yellow door).
