Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will present one of the most famous ghost stories ever told, the immortal tragedy Hamlet. This FREE performance takes place at the Teton County Courthouse Lawn, 150 Courthouse Drive in Driggs, on an impressive stage constructed on-site by the Montana State University acting troupe. The theatrical experience is enhanced by the sublime backdrop of the Teton Range. Arrive early at 5:30pm to watch the local nonprofit ACT Foundation perform Vaudeville Skits on the Shakespeare stage.
