Patrons can put on their red shoes and dance the blues at Geneva’s Island Park Saturday, July 6 when Stone Soup Shakespeare performs a David Bowie-influenced performance of “Twelfth Night.” This free performance starts at 6 p.m.

The ensemble will engage the crowd with song, dance, Shakespeare and may even invite an audience member or two to play along. Geneva’s Shakespeare In The Park performance is appropriate for all ages.

Shakespeare’s classic tale of twins shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, both imagining the other drowned, will be set in a world inspired by the fame and fantastical spectacle Bowie’s music created. The show features glam costumes and original lyrics and instruments inspired by the legendary singer.

Now in its 13th year, Shakespeare in the Park is presented by the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission. Admission is free ($5 suggested donation) and seating begins at 5 p.m. The audience is encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs and picnic dinners to enjoy the Ravinia-style theater experience along the Fox River. Stockholm's will sell sandwiches, chips and drinks while Graham's Chocolates will be serving up ice cream.

The Geneva Public Library District will offer a preshow Shakespeare-inspired craft activity for elementary school-aged children at 5 p.m. at the park.
