Shakespeare in the Wild: The Comedy of Errors
This drop already happened.
- When
- Aug 21 - Aug 30, 2026 · 7:00 PM
- Where
- DeKoevend Park at Goodson Rec Center, Centennial
- Price
- Free
Free outdoor Shakespeare in the south metro is rarer than it should be, and this company is now five seasons into making it a habit. Shakespeare in the Wild stages The Comedy of Errors at DeKoevend Park next to the Goodson Rec Center, and there is no ticket at any point.
Performances run at 7 PM nightly across two remaining blocks of dates: August 20 to 23 and August 27 to 30. The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare's shortest play and his most farcical, which makes it the right pick for an audience sitting on grass with kids and a cooler.
Bring low chairs or a blanket, because there is no fixed seating. If weather cancels a night, the company moves to the Best Buy at 6707 S Vine St, so check shakesinthewild.com before leaving on a questionable evening.
