SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK: COMEDY OF ERRORS AT DRAKE PARK
7:00 pm – 9:00 pmConert
The Shakespeare in the Park series returns to Bend and Sunriver August 21-23 with three brilliant performances of one of the Bard’s earliest plays and perhaps his most farcical comedy, The Comedy of Errors. The cast from Portland’s Northwest Classical Theatre Company will take the stage in Drake Park in Bend on August 21 and 22, and again at the SHARC Amphitheater in Sunriver on August 23. The Comedy of Errors hinges on the ripe premise of identical twins separated at birth whose paths cross to knee-slapping effect. The 1988 film Big Business, starring Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin, is based on this story. Puns, word play, and slap-stick humor come together to create one of the world’s most entertaining and wild stories of mistaken identity. The Shakespeare in the Park series is one of the benchmark cultural events in Central Oregon. Tickets are now on sale online for $22-$75 each

FirStreetPark
Keith Greeninger has been to Sisters many times, and has created a following unparalleled in the area. As a singer-songwriter, Keith paints intricate portraits of the human condition with powerful melodic images; deep, engaging guitar rhythms and husky, heart-wrenching vocals. His masterfully crafted tunes and powerful presence have earned him top songwriting awards at the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival, The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Napa Valley Folk Festival. Keith has toured the national folk and Americana circuit extensively for over two decades. Keith is friend to many, having taught at the Americana Song Academy, worked with students in Sisters for over a decade, and performed at many festivals, including last year in Sisters with Little Feat’s Bill Payne and the rhythm section from the Bonnie Raitt band. “Keith is part of the Sisters Folk Festival family, and although he won’t be playing the festival this year, we welcome him back home.” Tisdel states. Portland’s Anna Tivel will open the show, an exceptional artist who has played the Sisters Folk Festival for the past two years, as both a solo act and as part of the Shook Twins band.
