Featured performers include: Texas icon Jimmie Vaughan, 2025 GRAMMY Nominee Sue Foley, C.J.

Play | Shakespeare's Henry V in the Park


Henry V follows the young and newly crowned King Henry V of England as he seeks to prove himself a strong and legitimate ruler. The play begins with Henry's claim to the French throne, based on ancestral ties, which the French reject. Insulted by the French Dauphin's mocking gift of tennis balls, Henry launches a military campaign against France. The central action is the Battle of Agincourt, where Henry, despite being outnumbered and exhausted, delivers the famous "St. Crispin's Day" speech to inspire his troops. The theater supplies 100 chairs nightly for the audience. Those chairs get snatched up fast though, especially at the end of the run or on beautiful summer days, so organizers advise that audience members wanting to use these folding chairs arrive 30 minutes before the start of the performance. You may bring your own chair or something soft to sit on. The theater almost never cancel due to rain, but if necessary, it will post updates on Facebook & Instagram.
