Website Forest Theatre Company

Forest Theatre Company (formerly Forest Park Theatre) seeks trained scenic designers and costume designers for its fifth-annual free Shakespeare in the Park production of Fletcher and Shakespeare’s The Two Noble Kinsmen at The Altenheim Grove in Forest Park, IL.

Two best friends, soldiers, are captured in battle and imprisoned. They see a beautiful woman from their window, and both fall instantly in love with her, turning from intimate friendship to jealous rivalry in the space of a minute. The Two Noble Kinsmen is a rarely produced story of friendship, war, madness, and fate, played out in an ancient world that feels very much like our own in its absurdity and strangeness.
