Libby welcomed Montana Shakespeare in the Parks as it performed the comedy "12th Night" Wednesday evening at the Libby Elementary School Amphitheater.

An estimated crowd of 200 enjoyed the performance of mistaken identity, an unintended love triangle, but ultimately ends in marriage.

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, born at Montana State University, is celebrating its 50th season. It began its outreach program to schools in 1993. It currently serves 61 rural communities in more than 10 weeks across five states providing free performances.

The troupe made a swing through western Montana recently. It began with an appearance in Kalispell on Aug. 17 and will end Saturday in Charlo.
