It’s almost that time again! Grab your blanket or chair, a pal or two, and some snacks, and come see us at Nichols Park for summer Shakespeare!
Nichols is between Kimbark Avenue and Kenwood Avenue, from 53rd to 55th. This year, we’ll perform scenes from several Shakespeare plays at locations throughout the park. Stroll through the park to catch every scene … and plan to come back again, because each night will be different!
