We performed the Shakespeare Comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Owe performed the Shakespeare comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Owe performed the Shakespeare comedy, The Two Gentlemen Of Verona.
The sentence capitalized correctly is: "We performed the Shakespeare comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona."

Answer:

The correctly capitalized sentence is 'We performed the Shakespeare comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona', with proper nouns and the play's title capitalized, while common nouns are not.

Explanation:

The sentence that is capitalized correctly is: We performed the Shakespeare comedy, The Two Gentlemen of Verona. In this sentence, 'Shakespeare' is capitalized as it is the name of an author, and 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona' is capitalized as it is the title of a play. The word 'comedy' is not capitalized because it is a common noun, not part of the play's title. Capitalization rules require that the first word and all major words in the title of works are capitalized, but common nouns like 'comedy', 'tragedy', etc., are not capitalized unless they are the first word of the title.
