A summer tradition for theater lovers in New Jersey is back: outdoor performances by The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. 

The shows take place on the campus of Saint Elizabeth University in Morris County.

The current production, while not a work of Shakespeare, does fall into the style of classics that the theater specializes in staging.

Performances are running through the month of July for "Shipwrecked! An Entertainment, The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told By Himself)" written by Donald Margulies.

It is inspired by the Victorian era story of a man who claimed to be a shipwrecked explorer looking for treasures at sea, only for his story to be discredited as false.

The theater is offering free tickets to anyone age 17 and younger to the family-friendly show, along with other discounts as well. More information can be found at www.Shakespearenj.org.
