Don't miss the final free performances of "Puck - A Midsummer Day's Fairy tale" - the July production from Gypises in a Trunk!

An unhappy couple, misguided parents, an arranged marriage make for confusion in the forest. With the audience's help, Puck, the mischievous sprite from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," can put things right-or make them worse in the next production for Fairy Tales in the Park in July.

Author and director, John Logue has drawn from the works of Shakespeare and added a fairytale twist to create a story that will be enjoyed by the young and young at heart! The talented cast includes: Patrick Beckstead, Chris Carnicelli, Roxanne Diesel, Olivia Heulitt, and Marilyn Zaslow.

The all-volunteer troupe of Gypsies in a Trunk continues its 14th season of free Fairy Tales in the Park with performances in July. All performances are held in relaxed outdoor settings at five different locations to allow children and their families to enjoy live theatre at it's best. Performances are free to the public, but in the age-old gypsy tradition, actors pass the hat at intermission; any donation to help cover the costs of costumes and props is greatly appreciated. So gather up the kids, pack a picnic or snacks and enjoy free family entertainment.

The performances of "Puck - A Midsummer Day's Fairytale" will be held: Saturday July 12 in Camarillo at 11:30 am behind the Community Recreation Center at 1605 E Burnley St. and in Ventura at 4:00 pm at Barranca Vista Park, 7050 Ralston. Ample seating is available on the ground at all locations, you may bring blankets, lunch or snacks. We love Fido too, but pets have a tendency to upstage the actors so please leave Fido at home if possible.
