Colorado Shakespeare Festival Wraps Up Its Summer Run
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is closing its summer season with two standout shows. Performances of "Friends/Romans/Countrymen" and "Twelfth Night" are playing at the Roe Green indoor theater on CU's Boulder campus. Times-Call reports these are among the final chances to catch live Shakespeare in the area before the season ends.
The festival draws thousands of visitors each summer to CU's campus. Missing these final shows means waiting until next year. Tickets are limited as the closing dates approach, so early booking is recommended.

Joining the program is pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, who will perform Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 — one of the most celebrated piano works ever written. The concert also includes a world premiere piece by composer Leigha Amick, according to Daily Camera.
Three distinct works on one program makes this a rare night for classical music fans in Boulder. Tsujii is an internationally known pianist. Amick's world premiere adds a fresh, local dimension to the evening's lineup.
