Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Free Shakespeare in the Park Starts 7/14

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is proud to announce the dates of the 2017 FREE Shakespeare in the Park Tour! This year's tour has over 30 performances stops (and growing) across three states and features a brand new production of Shakespeare's beloved comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor". The classic "Romeo and Juliet" will also be presented in parks, community centers, and other venues in the tri-state area. These performances are FREE and open to the public. 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 June 2018. Last year, CSC's FREE Shakespeare in the Park tour had over 10,000 people in attendance!

The FREE Shakespeare in the Park Tour kicks off what promises to be a banner year for Cincinnati Shakespeare Company as they prepare to open the brand new Otto M. Budig Theater at the corner of 12th and Elm Street in OTR with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on September 8, 2017.

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is constantly working to expand their reach further and further into the region and has one of the largest programs for free outdoor Shakespeare in the nation, both in number of stops and the size of the region reached.
