River Street Theatre to Present Screening of Stratford Festival's LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST

The River Street Theatre (RST), a project of The Park Theatre, will present the award-winning Stratford Festival's production of William Shakespeare's LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST on Sunday and Monday, August 6 & 7 with a 1:30 pm matinee each day. The play is presented exactly as it was staged and exquisitely captured in HD video and sound.

The RST Stage2Screen Series and SpectiCast are proud to present this new production, helmed by Tony- and Olivier award-winning director John Caird. A coming-of-age story unlike any other, Love's Labour's Lost dwells sweetly on the naiveté of youth while leading its protagonists to understand the true meaning - and cost - of love. This "sublime" (Toronto Star) "masterpiece" (National Post) was called "the most vibrant production of the play I've ever seen" (am New York). Starring Ruby Joy, Mike Shara, Sarah Afful, Juan Chioran, Josue Laboucane, Tom Rooney and Sanjay Talwar, "it's impossible to say who gives the most delicious performance in this comic feast" (Torontoist).

Tickets for LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST are $20 each (students/teachers: $15). More program and schedule information, as well as ticket purchases, can be found at riverst.org or by calling the RST Box Office (603) 532-8888. The after hours box office can be reached by calling OvationTix at (866) 811-4111. The River Street Theatre is located in downtown Jaffrey, New Hampshire at 6 River Street.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre, including children's productions, concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new Park Theatre is scheduled to open in 2018.

The Park Theatre currently operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and cinema venue, located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England." Visit www.theparktheatre.org for more information.
