The sexiest of goddesses loves the handsomest of young men. A match made in heaven? Not exactly. She badly needs a cuddle; he just has to hunt. Off he goes, and meets a tragic fate. We adapt this wonderful narrative poem for the stage, and the result is a brand new play by William Shakespeare. It stars Venus, Adonis, a lusty stallion, a terrified bunny, and a savage boar – the perfect enchantment for a summer’s night. Nine performances only!

  TRAFFIC ALERT
  
  Construction on Austin Bluffs will make things a little difficult for those trying to reach the theater heading East on Austin Bluffs. Please use extra time to reach the theater. The city advises:
  
  * Left turns from eastbound Austin Bluffs Parkway to northbound Cragwood Drive were eliminated permanently on February 12, 2007.
  * As part of the final configuration, access to Cragwood Drive from Austin Bluffs Parkway will be eliminated and replaced with new access as follows:
  o Traffic heading west on Austin Bluffs Parkway will turn right on Cragmor Village Road to reach the new frontage road that will be constructed.
  o Traffic heading east on Austin Bluffs Parkway will turn left on Meadow Lane to reach the new frontage road that will be constructed.
  * Until the new access opens, northbound Cragwood Drive can only be accessed as a right hand turn from westbound Austin Bluffs Parkway.
  
  What do to....
  
  We recommend approaching the theater using west-bound Austin Bluffs OR approaching via Union. To approach heading east-bound on Austin Bluffs you could make a U-turn at Austin Bluffs and Union and double back on west-bound Austin Bluffs.
