 West Coast beach boys match wits with East Coast college girls in a spin on Shakespeare's comedy that draws inspiration from Beach Blanket Bingo and American Graffiti, and uses the pop culture of 1963 to inform this story of young people trying to reconcile their minds and hearts and find their places in the world.

With this smart & sexy cast: Kim Adams, Michael Amendola, Ryan Crowder, Michael Dalmon, Nancy Eyermann, Judd Farris, Lindsley Howard, Molly Karrasch, Alex McDonald Villareal, Jordan McRae, Mark Scheibmeir*, Will Hollis Snider, David Stokey*, David Yeakle. (* members of Actors Equity union)

Directed by Robert Faires.

      I did not know what to expect for Love's Labour's Lost at Zilker Park. I must admit that having only seen the film version which I did not enjoy there was mixed hope that I would find myself in a boring or sugar coated play. I knew with many of the actors and actresses that I had seen on stage in other productions that was not going to happen. I was not prepared for seeing by me my favorite total cast production of a story that seemed to find heart and purpose and character development from top to bottom. Molly Karrasch as the page so made me laugh with every turn. It was so good to see her as another character deliver the sorrowful message towards plays end. Kim Adams, as in Man and Superman, owns whatever stage she is on. Her total commitment to a character is such a joy to see. The setting of summer of 1963 was such the way to go. The innocence of the period about to be brought to an end. Many great performances from so many others. I am truly grateful for this production. Collapse

      Whatever you think about Shakespeare, there is something magical about a writer who can span so many generations. Thanks to Robert Faires, we can enjoy yet another well thought out concept just perfect for the summer. Go have some fun and see how cleverly he has brought this lesser of the Shakespeare's to life. You will not be disappointed. Some marvelous performances and such a dedicated company. Go get some Love at Zilker. Bring some wine and song. Collapse

      What a great setting for a romantic comedy. Guys meeting Dolls on the beach in the 60's. What could be more fun? Great music, great scenery, great acting by the whole cast. Very enjoyable night on a blanket under the stars. Felt like we were part of the play. Collapse
