Claremont is once again partnering with one of Southern California's newest summer traditions
– the Midsummer Shakespeare Festival in Claremont – for an overnight hotel package
that includes festival tickets and $50 in Claremont
Chamber gift cards redeemable towards a picnic under the
stars.
The sixth annual Midsummer Shakespeare Festival presented by
Ophelia's Jump Productions runs July
11-21, Thursday to Sunday evenings, at the Sontag Greek
Theatre at Pomona College. This year's
shows, performed in repertory, are:
- Taming of the Shrew (July 11-13-19-21) – the
bard's comic play performed by an all-female cast;
- Pericles, Prince of Tyre (July 12-14-18-20) – an
epic, bawdy, hilarious and slightly musical fairy-tale pantomime
for the adventurous kid in every adult.
The "Room and Bard" package, available at participating
Claremont hotels, includes a comfortable guest room, two tickets to
one night's performance at the Sontag Greek Theater ($50 value), stadium chair seating for the event
($40 value), and $50 in gift cards redeemable for dinner or a
pre-packed picnic in Claremont.
Claremont Chamber's gift cards are
accepted at over 110 local merchants, including more than three
dozen restaurants and specialty food shops in the Claremont Village and along Historic Route 66.
Festival guests can bring dinner, beer and wine to enjoy during the
performances, or purchase food and beverage on site.
The package is subject to availability at the participating
Claremont hotels -- DoubleTree by Hilton
