Finalé of BAT Theatre’s ‘The Guardsman’ at Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden

Free live theater is coming to a park near you this summer as BAT Theatre continues its six-park tour of the romantic comedy The Guardsman with its finalé performance at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17 at Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden.

Synopsis

“A popular actor suspects his new actress wife is getting restless, so he takes on his most daring role yet—disguising himself as a dashing guardsman—to test his wife and win her love. The actor sweeps his wife off her feet, creates romance and drama, and nearly torpedoes their marriage in the process. “The Guardsman ultimately asks the question: “Where does the acting end and true emotion begin?”

“Bring a chair or blanket to sit on,” BAT said in a statement. “Support your local eateries by making this a dinner and a show event. Bring takeout to the performance, or dine out before or after.”
