Sporting more than twenty years of theatrical excellence, Shakespeare Under the Stars is back at the EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens this summer with its production of Richard III.  The show runs from July 31 through August 9 nightly at 8:15 p.m., except on Sundays. If you consider yourself a citizen of Wimberley, you’ve probably been to at least a few of these performances. If you haven’t, you had better get down to the EmilyAnn before tickets sell out. These shows fill fast, as people flock from all over Central Texas for a fun night at the outdoor theatre. The shows aren’t just great entertainment, they also serve as a social hotspot for theatre fans and actors alike. What about the show? Great question. “Richard III” is a tale of a man so twisted and so desperate for the crown that this darkness manifests, changing his appearance. Richard’s physicality becomes as twisted and deformed as his own soul.
