August is right around the corner and that means the return of FREE performances by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in parks around our region. Michael and I love going to Cincy Shakes to see shows in their intimate theater, but come August the company spreads their wings and performs in front of the public in some of the most gorgeous parks and open spaces around town. I’m looking forward to packing up the family and a picnic dinner and catching a performance or two next month! To see the complete schedule visit The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Website.

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is proud to announce the 2014 FREE Shakespeare in the Park Tour presented by PNC! This year’s tour is bigger than ever 
with 26 performances of “Macbeth” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area at local community parks and venues. These performances are FREE and open to the public! “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is directed by CSC Ensemble Member Nicholas Rose and “Macbeth” is directed by CSC Ensemble Member Miranda McGee. The cast features six actors from CSC Resident Ensemble. Following the Park Tour, these shows will travel and tour to local schools, community centers, venues and other performing arts locations through May 2015. Last year, CSC’s FREE Shakespeare in the Park tour had over 7,000 people in attendance!
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is constantly working to expand their reach even further into the region and they are excited to announce performances in 5 brand new communities this year! Milford, Blue Ash, Hamilton, Price Hill and Deerfield Township have welcomed FREE Shakespeare in the Park to their communities for the first time. CSC also continues to partner with Cincinnati Parks and Recreation and offers free performances at Seasongood Pavilion in Eden Park, as well as Mt. Echo Park and Ault Park. Shakespeare in the Park will also tour to Washington Park again as well as parks in Madeira, Colerain, Glendale, West Chester, Oxford, and Monroe in Ohio, and Burlington, Edgewood, and even Maysville in Kentucky! Shakespeare in the Park will also be returning to Vinoklet Winery for two performances. Currently, the Shakespeare in the Park tour has 26 performances scheduled.
