STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- The Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre is embracing mandatory facial coverings in the costume design of its latest production.

Closing out a two-weekend run of The Two Gentlemen of Verona" this Saturday and Sunday, the company has dressed its actors with white facial coverings stamped with designs that reflect their characters. The performances are taking place at Fort Tompkins within Fort Wadsworth, with socially distant seating.

Were so excited to use our outside show experience to provide the only live theatre show in town right now -- maybe even in the whole city, Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre Director Frank Williams told SILive.com.

This isnt the first time the Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre used Fort Tompkins as a main stage. In 2019, the theatre company performed Measure For Measure at the Staten Island grounds, turning Fort Tompkins into the Wild West. The company transformed the open, outdoor area into royal grounds for its production of King Lear in 2017.
