For the Houston Shakespeare Festival's 40th anniversary, the University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance will present The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Stage and screen actor Mirron Willis will play the Duke. Joining Willis as a visiting artist will be stage pro Brendon Fox, who will direct the play.

This is a ticketed event for the covered seating area. Free tickets are available (four per person over age 16, while they last) at the Miller Outdoor Theatre box office the day of the performance between 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. If tickets remain at 1 p.m., the box office will re-open one hour before show time to distribute the remaining tickets. Open seating on the hill is always available.
