Ah, Cymbeline: Not the most-studied-in-high school Shakespeare around. But that’s not for lack of action! We’ve got missing children, star-crossed lovers, mistaken identities, poisoning, and beheadings galore, all performed by talented teens underneath the Big Texas Sky. Here, Austin Shakespeare’s youth program combines historical elements with pop sensibilities. They’ve added modern costumes and needle drops to this mystical tale, but kept Shakespeare’s script and stage. Did I mention it’s at Curtain Theatre, the waterfront Globe facsimile? Breathe fresh air with the Bard’s fanciful tale starting Friday, June 20. – Cat McCarrey
