Westerly's Colonial Theatre, which each summer brings live Shakespeare to Wilcox Park, will be staging Two Gentlemen of Verona July 15 through Aug. 2. Shows take place Tuesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. in the downtown park.

Enrico Bravo, who charmed audiences two years ago as Romeo, returns to Westerly as Proteus, one of the two gentlemen. And Patricia Santomasso, Phoebe in last year's As You Like It, will play the role of Sylvia, the object of the gentlemen's affections.

Ed Franklin, a Watch Hill resident and a veteran of 10 park productions, returns as the Duke, Sylvia's father.

Award-winning composer and Westerly resident Flav Martin is composing a score for the show. Admission to Colonial shows in the park is free, although donations are welcomed.
