Each year Cincinnati Shakes prepares two shows for their various performances at parks around the city and Hamilton County. \u00a0This year\u2019s shows are <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em> and <em>The Merry Wives of Windsor<\/em>. \u00a0Past years included <em>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream, Macbeth,<\/em> and <em>Much Ado About Nothing<\/em>. \u00a0The official schedule hasn\u2019t been posted yet, but it will be coming soon! \u00a0You can check their <a href=\"http:\/\/cincyshakes.com\/shakespeare-in-the-park\/\">website<\/a> for updates.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-32826\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shakespeare in the Park\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2-155x103.jpg 155w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2-285x190.jpg 285w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shakespeare-park-2-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>Maybe you\u2019re not from Cincinnati. \u00a0Maybe you\u2019re from out-of-state, or you\u2019ll be traveling over the summer. \u00a0The good news is that most states across America host some sort of summer Shakespeare performance series. \u00a0Over 30 states present a Shakespeare festival or summer series and some of them are free while others require tickets. \u00a0The list below gives links to at least one Shakespeare event in 37 states and Washington D. C. \u00a0And, there are multiple states that have Shakespeare festivals in more than one region. \u00a0New York, for example, is full of Shakespeare during the summer. \u00a0Take a look at the list and maybe you\u2019ll find a festival somewhere you were already thinking about visiting. \u00a0If you don\u2019t see a festival in a particular region, chances are good you\u2019ll find something if
