Shakespeare By The Bow - Calgary

Thank you #yyc for another amazing year of #ShakesBow. That's all from us for now, we'll see you next summer! ☀️

It’s a full house on the hill! Thank for coming out to our final show #yyc! 😎🌴.

And then there was one! The air quality looks to be better, so this afternoon at 2:00pm is your FINAL chance to catch #ShakesBow before this baby hits 88 mph and it's gone til next summer! bit.ly/2qSSFXj

‪Unfortunately that smoke is just not letting up folks. Tonight’s show is CANCELLED, we’ll try to squeeze in one more show tomorrow at 2pm! 😭‬

Yeah...so...that smoke is back. At this point it is much too early to decide if it will affect our 7:00pm show. We monitor air quality throughout the day and will update our facebook and twitter (@ShakesBow) feed when/if any decisions are made later this afternoon. #yyc #ShakesBow

2:30pm Update: The air quality index looks decent enough that we are currently a GO for a 7:00pm performance. In the event that the weather or air quality deteriorate, we will update. (ie. We never cancel without an update...so no news is good news.) Our twitter feed (@shakesbow) is the best way to stay updated! #yyc #ShakesBow

Wonder if he was talking about #ShakesBow? bit.ly/2qSSFXj

And then I said, "you look an awful lot like that girl I left back in Milan."
Confused? You won't be if you come to The Two Gentlemen of Verona > bit.ly/2qSSFXj

Unfortunately the air quality here in #yyc means that tonight's show is once again CANCELLED. We will try again tomorrow night at 7:00pm!

Same thing today folks! It is too early to make the call to cancel the show yet. Keep watching this space for updates on tonight's show! #yycsmoke

We've been celebrating #TBT all summer long down at Prince's Island!
Avoid FOMO and see what you've been missing! bit.ly/2qSSFXj

Unfortunately due to the air quality, tonight's show is CANCELLED. We will try again tomorrow night at 7pm! bit.ly/2qSSFXj

Concerning the smoke in #YYC: It is too early to make the call to cancel the show yet. Our stage management team has a thermometer that tells us all kinds of things (including air quality). Once they give us notice on the status of the performance, we will post updates here and on our Twitter page.

Only 5 chances left to follow two friends on a most excellent adventure!

It's the final countdown! 🌴 There are only 6 chances left to catch The Two Gentlemen of Verona! bit.ly/2qSSFXj

That's (almost) a wrap #yyc! It's the final week to see #ShakesBow! Here's a look at what's happening this week bit.ly/2qSSFXj

What a great performance! The weather was terrific (for the viewers. I know those wool outfits must have been terribly hot!!) and the acting was superb. This was our kids' first experience with the outdoor format and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Will probably go back to see it a 2nd time, but with more money in our pockets :)

Was a great night and play and acting superb. Very clear when speaking and singing and this was my first year doing this experience. Will definitely go again in the future

The dance numbers were hilarious, the 80s music and costuming was spot on, and best of all, the ending preserved the dignity of the female characters by diverging from Shakespeare's original play. Thank you for such an entertaining evening!

Saw last nights performance(july6,2018) HILARIOUS❣️ I cannot wait to attend again, although I will bring family and friends. It’s hard to believe the cast of Two Gentleman of Verona are recent graduates. They are as talented as any play I’ve seen at Theatre Calgary/&or Martha Cohen! I laughed out loud so many times. Bryson has such a beautiful voice as well! Bravo to the director for his choice of 80s music. So fun!❤️♥️

Never disappoints... but I this year is one of my favs. Put an 80s theme to a Shakespearean story, with a very modern and socially relevant twist at the end. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Well done! Bravo!

Loved this show! Amazing! I've been attending every year and have started bringing my daughter with me. Thank you, Haysam and the entire cast for continuing to inspire and bring Shakespeare to life.

It was an amazing experience! Everything was great, from the ambiance to the performances.

I was surprised how comfortable it was and how intimate it was. This vast space, yet I felt like I was in my backyard with a bunch of friends. Very special experience.

I look forward to this event every year:) This year was especially fantastic and so well done! Love how the 80’s theme was incorporated into this, the actors had me giggling and even hating them, such a super show animals and humans alike, we had a fun time. Thanks for all your hard work everyone!!

Been going to this every year for a long time. This was by far the best I’ve seen! Shakespeare as an 80s Rom-Com- brilliantl!

As always the show did not disappoint!! This definitely one of my favourite parts of summer!

Another year, another fantastic performance. I highly recommend this for anyone trying to get their fill of cultural events during the summer!
