WHAT:
Celebrated for lively, expansive productions by William Shakespeare that fill the outdoor stage and spill over into the surrounding woods, Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum opens its 2024 summer repertory season with two productions by the Bard. The Winter’s Tale is a sweeping romance of passion and forgiveness. A Midsummer Night’s Dream –– an audience favorite year after year — is Shakespeare’s most entertaining and beguiling comedy. 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.
