Macbeth @ Merrick State Park
2023-08-05 17:30 - 20:30 | Merrick State Park, S2965 WI-35, Fountain City, WI, 54629, United States
We are more than excited to welcome back the Summit Players to Merrick State Park this summer!
5:30 pm – Workshop | 7:00 pm – Performance
Three witches visit brave warrior Macbeth with a vision of the future: he will be crowned king of Scotland. Determined to do whatever it takes to make this prophecy come true, he embarks on a ruthless quest for power. A web of secrets, trickery and danger entangles Macbeth, his wife Lady Macbeth, his rival Macduff and countless others as he claws his way to the top. Six actors play all the parts in this spooky, free, all-ages play.
The Summit Players use theatre as a learning medium and introduce children to a passion for language, communicating, and constructive play, while providing adults with an enjoyable theatrical experience. The only company in the country focused on touring a production through state parks, the Summit Players build connections between Shakespeare, the outdoors, and fun. To do so, we seek innovative and original ways to perform, to connect the classics to our contemporary time.
FREE EVENT – valid vehicle sticker is required to enter the park.

A Tintinnabulation of handbells ringing in the GREAT STONE CIRCLE!! WHOA! – this is an impromptu, fun experience you won’t want to miss. (note… this is NOT a concert – rather a small group session of amazing musicians gathering to make music amidst the standing stones of Kinstone). Donation based performance.
Strikepoint, an internationally-acclaimed handbell ensemble based in Duluth, MN, will be playing for the love of the bells in a small group session at Kinstone. Visitors to Kinstone are invited to listen and experience the uplifting joy of their playing of the bells.
The music will be offered in the Great Stone Circle (weather dependent) for free-will donations. A collection basket will be available near the performance. All donations will go to this group! If weather is not ideal, the session will move to one of our sheltered locations (e.g. Chapel, Dragon’s Keep or Education Center Porch).
We may see some portion of Strikepoint’s huge collection of bells, chimes and other instruments in this impromptu session with them at Kinstone; however please be informed that this is NOT a concert. We are lucky to have the group doing this impromptu, small group session in a fun and engaging way right here amidst the standing stones of Kinstone.
DATE: Saturday, August 5, 2023 – 3:00pm to 3:45pm
COST: DONATION BASED performance. This event is included with ADMISSION to Kinstone – pay admission as you would to visit Kinstone on any other day; then plan to make a cash donation for the performers as well! They will receive 100% of the donations collected during this session. No registration required.
