Hamilton Doubles Up Shakespeare In The Parks This Year
It s official - Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is back on the road this summer. Following a COVID-restricted year, the popular traveling theater troupe based at Montana State University in Bozeman will be traveling from town to town in Montana and neighboring states for its 49th year. And, for the first times, Hamilton audiences will be able to enjoy both plays in a two-night stand.
Each year, two plays are selected (usually a comedy and a tragedy) and they re rotated from night to night. Since the tour didn t happen last year, those chosen plays were simply postponed and brought over to this year. A Midsummer s Night Dream and Cymbeline are the two presentations. The stage will be set up on the Large Lawn at the Sapphire Lutheran Homes on North 10th Street in Hamilton. A Midsummer s Night Dream, will be July 27 and Cymbeline will be July 28th. Bring a blanket or lawn chair for your seating comfort.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) Veteran Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough heard frustrations over high turnover rates among health care providers at the agency as he began a three-day tour of Montana on Monday his first official trip since being confirmed in February.
The former chief of staff for President Barack Obama was invited to Montana by Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, the newly-named chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. McDonough said in response to concerns about high turnover that he wanted to make the VA “a place where people want to work.” He also highlighted money to help upgrade VA facilities that was included in the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package.
