I've gone twice now. Shakespeare in the park is put on by Actors Theatre at Schiller Park in German Village. I've gone twice now, the second time was rained out though, a 1/2 hour into the production.
It's actually really nice. The plays run from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 8pm each night on those nights. I suggest bringing friends or that significant other, having a picnic in Schiller Park around 6pm or whatever, throwing the baseball or frisbee, and then relaxing for a two hour performance outside.
The acting isn't amazing or mind boggling, but it's very well done and I was impressed. I'm a big Shakespeare fan myself, my family and I usually go up to the Stratford Festival of Canada every year to see plays.
This is just a nice alternative if it's a nice evening, you want to eat outside, relax, and watch good theatre.
Here's the website, if you're interested...
