“The Merchant of Venice” to be performed at the South Dakota Shakespeare Festival

VERMILLION, SD (KTIV) – Grab your lawn chair to enjoy a night of tragedy, comedy and Shakespeare.

The South Dakota Shakespeare Festival will put on “The Merchant of Venice” at Prentis Park, in Vermillion, South Dakota. Performances start at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 6 and will run until Sunday, June 9.

The South Dakota Shakespeare Festival is bringing this story to life with the North Dakota Shakespeare Festival.

Beer, wine and other refreshments will be available for sale at showtime. The festival says “The Merchant of Venice” marks one of Shakespeare’s most intricate tales of comedy and tragedy to create a world where not everything is as it seems.

Before opening night, SDSF says they would like to warn the public that the play does contain theatrical elements of bigotry and antisemitism.

“Please be aware that this play includes theatricalizations of bigotry and antisemitism with the purpose of generating productive and restorative dialogue surrounding these challenging issues.” said the South Dakota Shakespeare Festival, “SDSF and NDSF are committed to creating places and opportunities for us to process how art and life collide.”

For audience members who wish to participate in these conversations, SDSF will hold “Community Building Conversations.” The event will include a talkback about the history of the production and the time period while focusing on how it relates to the 21st century.

The discussion will be from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the W. H Over Museum on Monday, June 3. SDSF says they will also hold a post-show exchange with the production’s creative team on Friday, June 7 and Sunday, June 9th.

Besides the production and conversation, SDSF will have other events take place from June 2 through June 9th.

South Dakota Governor signs trucker English proficiency and CDL bills to ‘deliver Dalilah’s Law’

South Dakota Governor signs trucker English proficiency and CDL bills to ‘deliver Dalilah’s Law’

This week, South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden signed two bills imposing stricter language and citizenship requirements on commercial driver license (CDL) holders.

On March 10, 2026, Rhoden signed the following two bills into law in an effort to strengthen standards for CDL holders in South Dakota:

SB 164, which requires CDL holders to be proficient in the English language
SB 180, which modifies requirements regarding non-domiciled CDLs

Rhoden said in a news release announcing the signing of the bills into law that South Dakota has now satisfied President Trump’s call for states to pass “Dalilah’s Law,” which would “increase standards for English proficiency and prohibit states from issuing CDLs to undocumented immigrants.”

Trump pushed for “Dalilah’s Law” during his State of the Union address in February.

“These bills are commonsense steps to improve public safety by guaranteeing that truckers can read our road signs and making sure that only citizens and legal immigrants hold CDLs. South Dakota will continue to prioritize strong licensing standards so all drivers are traveling safely and responsibly,” Rhoden said.

Rhoden also said that the state has partnered with federal immigration authorities for an enforcement detail.

“The [South Dakota] Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently conducted an enforcement operation alongside the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. DPS also reviewed its process for non-domiciled CDLs to ensure illegal immigrants are not operating with or receiving CDLs in South Dakota,” Rhoden said.

Dalilah’s Law was named for Dalilah Coleman, a child who was injured in a June 20, 2024, crash in California involving Partap Singh, who was driving a semi truck. Officials said that Singh was an Indian national present in the U.S. illegally. He was later taken into U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Much action has already been taken at a federal level over the past year to tighten citizenship requirements for obtaining a non-domiciled CDL and to increase English Language Proficiency enforcement for truck drivers.
