A tribute to the magic of storytelling, The Winter\u2019s Tale presents a rich tapestry of love, strife, hope, and resurrection in a bittersweet and human story about the miracle of forgiveness. June 11, 13, and 14, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., Fulks Theatre, The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare, directed by Gary Varner. Imagine you\u2019ve just arrived in town, unaware that your twin brother (who you were separated from at childbirth) is there as well. Imagine further that your brother\u2019s wife mistakes you for him\u2014but not before you\u2019ve tried to romance his wife\u2019s sister. Director Gary Varner takes an innovative approach to Shakespeare\u2019s funniest play about mistaken identity. The Comedy of Errors is a madcap farce brimming with vaudevillian slapstick and lightning-paced comedy. June 10 and 12, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. June 14, 2026 at 2 p.m. Fulks Theatre Free Admission (donation recommended for Lights Up) Doors open thirty minutes prior to performance. First-come, first-served.
