Watching Shakespeare’s works performed outdoors on a summer night is a tradition for many theater lovers.

Starting Thursday, July 13, fans can see all of Shakespeare’s plays in one show when the Lewiston Civic Theatre presents “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” on the lawn of Lindsay Creek Vineyards in Lewiston.

Three actors present the bard’s 37 plays in 97 minutes in an irreverent, funny, fast-paced romp. The show is directed by theater veteran Fred Scheibe and stars Travis Osburn, Paul Segren and Micheal Keene, all of Lewiston.

Showtimes are at 8 p.m. July 13-15 and 20-22. Food will be available for purchase starting at 7 p.m. and beer and wine will be for sale. No outside food or drink is allowed. People should bring blankets or chairs for seating. In case of inclement weather, the show will be moved indoors.

All tickets are $15 and are available by calling the theater at (208) 746-3401 or online at www.lctheatre.org.
