"Shakespeare's Fool" will be performed on four Fridays in June in Heisler Park.
The City Council approved on Tuesday the pilot program titled "Shakespeare in the Park."
Performances will include monologues from Shakespeare's plays and original music. Limited amplification was also approved.
John Gardner and Jason Feddy proposed the program to the Arts Commission at its Jan. 9 meeting. The commission unanimously approved the proposal for recommendation to the council.
Feddy said performances will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the new amphitheater and conclude at sunset on June 1, 8, 15 and 22.
