Washed ashore following a terrible storm, King Alonso and his court encounter a strange island inhabited by monsters, fairies and the wizard duke once betrayed by Alonzo. Come join us for the Baron's Men production of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of magic, love and redemption.

This is an open-air performance where guests will be sitting on unpaved ground.  There will be a bit of a walk from the parking area to the performance area.  The Tempest will not be performed within the Curtain Theater, but on another area of the same property in the village of Castleton near the ship. Feel free to use the wooden benches provided, bring your own chairs, or enjoy the evening as a blanket picnic.
