Saturday, Maryhill's Stonehenge Memorial becomes a stage for Shakespeare when the Portland Actors Ensemble performs "King Lear."

In the Bard's uncompromising tragedy, the proud King Lear declares his intention to divide his kingdom between his three daughters based on which one loves him most.

This production is part of the Portland Actors Ensemble's Shakespeare-in-the-Parks program, which makes classical theater accessible to audiences in nontraditional environments. The play begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

Stonehenge is off Washington Scenic Route 14, just south of Goldendale.

Then on Sunday, the Goldendale Astronomy Club will set up a solar observing demonstration at Stonehenge from noon to 5 p.m. Visitors will be able to look through specially filtered telescopes to see views of the sun during this longest day of the year. The event is free.
