The Tempest at Preston Park and Zelienople

It’s been ten years since hobnob’s first Shakespeare production. In July of 2013 hobnob brought Shakespeare’s The Tempest to the Succop Theater at BC3. The show ran only two evenings, but was an important first step as hobnob’s inaugural Shakespeare production.

This summer, hobnob will return to the enchanted isle “full of noises, Sounds, and sweet airs…,” performing The Tempest in Preston Park in Butler Township, and at the amphitheater in Zelienople.

Performances at Preston Park:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, July 28, 29, 30

Performances at Zelienople:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, August 4, 5, 6

Auditions will be held June 4 and 5; an audition form will be posted on our website and socials.

Tickets will be available in July. We look forward to sharing this story with you!

The Shakespeare in the Park Tradition

hobnob theatre co. has been bringing Shakespeare in the Park to Preston Park since 2014. Every summer, audiences marvel and laugh alongside the mythical fairies, drunken sailors, starstruck lovers, and shrewish wives that are found in the plays of William Shakespeare.

We can’t wait for this year’s production of The Tempest and hope to see you there!
