The Kirk Players are excited to present Words of Love, a FREE production celebrating Valentine’s Day.  On Saturday, February 13, 2021, at 7:30pm CST, they will perform selected Shakespeare sonnets and several classic and modern love poems via our YouTube channel.  You may not be able to express your love in words, but they can help set your holiday mood with their selections from the masters in poetry.

Director Jon Leslie Lynn says “This is a very exciting project for me, because I am such a huge poetry freak and truly love Shakespeare! I am so happy to share such a remarkable variety of love poems with our audience. The selections cover classic and modern, for the young and the old, a good dose of Shakespeare, and we feel everyone will enjoy the experience of having these poems brought to vivid life. We hope to reach a large audience of people curled up on the couch with their loved ones, under a blanket with a cool beverage, looking for ways to add romance to their Valentine’s Day weekend!”

While the performance is free, they welcome donations to their organization whose not-for-profit mission is to enrich, educate, and entertain the community by providing a superior theatre experience, to give back to the community with an emphasis on the arts, and to create a safe and inclusive environment.  For over 55 years, The Kirk Players have given their proceeds to local schools, artists, and those in need.

They hope that you will include this delightful show in your Valentine’s Day plans!

You may be familiar with “The Gift of the Magi”, a short story by O. Henry first published in 1905. This classic story is about a young couple and their quest to give one another a truly special gift, despite having very little money.  It is a tale of true love, giving and true holiday spirit.

Please check it out with family and friends and make it a part of your holiday celebrations!  Kirk Players for over 55 years has been committed to our mission of giving back to the community through our artistic endeavors.  We are a 501c3 charitable organization and welcome and appreciate your donations.  Please go to kirkplayers.org to make your contribution.  Thank you for your consideration!
