A Midsummer Night's Dream at Theatricum Botanicum

There’s no better way to watch Shakespeare come alive than by spending a summer afternoon or evening at Theatricum's spectacular amphitheater, carved into a rustic hillside in Topanga.

Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga, CA 90290 (midway between PCH and the 101/Ventura Freeway); $15-$48 (premium seats available for $60); The amphitheater is terraced into the hillside, so audience members are advised to dress casually (warmly for evenings) and bring cushions for bench seating.
