Love’s Labours Lost

Joliet Drama Guild, in partnership with the City of Joliet, is thrilled to announce auditions for our inaugural Shakespeare in the Parks tour of Love's Labour's Lost!

Join Co-Directors Aaron Flynn and Jake Thomas as we bring Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy to life in multiple parks across the City of Joliet.

Love’s Labour’s Lost follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they swear an oath to devote themselves to study for three years — and, during that time, to avoid the company of women. Their resolve is immediately tested with the arrival of the Princess of France and her three ladies-in-waiting. Add in mixed-up letters, forbidden love, and mistaken identities, and you have all the ingredients for a hilariously clever comedy.

This fresh production sets Shakespeare’s beautiful language against a late 90s/early 2000s backdrop — transforming the King and his gentlemen into a boy band and the Princess into a pop diva with her three backup dancers. Come ready to show off your best 90s dance moves and dust off those JNCO jeans hiding in the back of your closet!

February 26 & February 27
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
