Shakespeare in the Parks Henry V - Townsend

Join us in Townsend’s Heritage Park for Henry V on Sunday, August 31 at 5:00 PM - an early evening of compelling theatre.

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks returns for its 53rd season, bringing the magic of live theatre to communities across Montana (and beyond) from June through September. With performances held under open skies and free to attend, this treasured summer tradition invites audiences of all ages to gather for an evening of storytelling, connection, and culture. Featuring two beloved Shakespearean works - Henry V and As You Like It - the tour will reach more than 60 towns across five states, creating unforgettable moments under Montana's quintessential Big Sky.

This season’s production of Henry V explores what it means to lead in moments of uncertainty. Centered on a young king stepping into power during a time of national unrest, the play captures the tension between duty and morality with Shakespeare’s signature depth and poetic force. Through stirring speeches, gritty battle scenes, and moments of unexpected vulnerability, Henry V reminds us of the cost - and courage - of leadership.
