Do you have Shakespeare in the Park during the summer?

I love Shakespeare but sadly there’s none out in parks here. The British weather isn’t reliable enough for regular outdoor performances.

@downtide Ha!Ha! Weather! Hilo happens to be the rainiest city in the US with an average of 120”/year (that’s 305 cm/year), and we still do it. We don’t hold or cancel for rain! The only time we cancel is if the electrical gear is going to be standing in water.

When it rains the audience pops out their umbrellas, and the actors get wet. We’ve even sold t-shirts in the past that said “Shakespeare makes me wet.”

We don’t have Shakespeare in the Park, but we do have a Shakespeare Festival – 3 plays, every summer. It’s done on one of the stages of the local state college, but it’s done by a professional troupe. I go and see at least one play every year.

NYC has Shakespeare al fresco all over the city and NYC’s particular Shakespeare in the Park draws some big names.

We have a Shakespeare festival, and no, I do not go.

Yes, Ours is running The Tempest and Richard III, with the apprentice company doing Much Ado About Nothing. They’re also doing Twelfth Night as a participatory family event. In addition to the performances, they run a summer theater camp for kids.
