One hour before each main stage performance, gather at the Green Show Stage to brush up on the plot of that night's play with original story theatre versions of Love's Labour's Lost and Romeo and Juliet, performed by the Festival Intern Company. The Green Shows are designed to brush you up on the plot--and keep you in stitches!
