The Seattle Shakespeare Co. kicks off its summer Wooden O Shakespeare in the Park Series July 10 with “Julius Ceasar” at the Issaquah Community Center.
Wooden O, founded in 1994, started with annual summer Shakespeare performances at Mercer Island’s Luther Burbank Amphitheater. Demand for the free summer Shakespeare performances grew, and over the years, park venues from Lynnwood to Auburn were added to the schedule.
In spring 2008, Seattle Shakespeare Co. merged with Wooden O.
The Issaquah performance is from 7-9 p.m. at 301 Rainier Blvd. S.
“Julius Caesar” is a swift and enthralling political thriller that portrays the life-and-death struggle for power in Rome.
While blankets and picnic baskets are welcome on the lawn during performances, organizers ask that pets and alcohol be left at home.
