Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks is a citywide event that brings free performances of Shakespeare's plays to neighborhood parks across Chicago. With a specially equipped truck that transforms into a stage, professional actors present an abridged version of a Shakespearean play, such as the upcoming production of Twelfth Night, to audiences of all ages.
Supported by a partnership between Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the City of Chicago, Chicago Park District, Boeing, and BMO Harris Bank, this annual event has been a tradition for five years, attracting over 80,000 Chicagoans. Through this program, Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks aims to make Shakespeare accessible to all and contribute to the cultural vitality of the city.
