Hamlet
We’ve heard of free Shakespeare in the park but what about free Shakespeare in the pub? Gray Mallard Theater Company has been bringing the bard’s work to the masses over the past five years, and this summer the troupe presents Hamlet, a tale of a prince who must avenge the death of his father after his uncle kills the king and claims the throne. (Why yes, this is also the plot of The Lion King.) “In a time when corruption goes unchecked, deception unchallenged, and people are grappling with when and how to take a stand, Hamlet feels remarkably relevant,” director Amanda Fuller says via release. “The play explores what happens when corruption infects not only a single family, but an entire state, and one young person is called upon to act.” Performances are free and take place outdoors in the cidery’s parking lot. Audiences are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs, though a limited number will also be provided. Free. 7 p.m. Wed.–Thu., Sat.; 6:30 p.m. Sun.

Float-in Movie Night
Maybe you’ve been in a lake. Maybe you’ve seen the 1993 family classic Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. But have you ever done both at once? That’s the kind of renegade thinking behind this float-in movie event at Silverwood Park this weekend (or next Friday if the weather’s bad). The story follows two dogs and a cat as they traverse many miles in hopes of reuniting with their people. Shadow, Chance, and Sassy will be projected onto an inflatable screen on shore while viewers watch from boats, paddle boards, and floaties. Less adventurous viewers can also bring chairs and picnic blankets to view from solid ground, though space on land is limited. Just like a drive-in, the movie’s audio will be broadcast over the radio, but if your innertube doesn’t have an antenna, beachside speakers will play sound as well. Free. 9–11 p.m. Silverwood Park, 2500 County Rd. E, St. Anthony; find more info here.—Clare O’Connor
