Houston Shakespeare Festival, the city’s annual summer theater tradition, celebrates its 50th season with performances of both A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Romeo and Juliet  on alternating nights at Miller Outdoor Theatre,

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Shakespeare’s magical tale of midsummer madness tells the story of a wild night for lovers as an adventure in an enchanted forest leads to mischievous fairies playing tricks and a troupe of bumbling actors.

Love, magic, and mischief fills the forest as fantastical dreams blur with reality.

Bard Talks Before Each Show

For 2024, Houston Shakespeare Festival staff will speak at 7:45pm before each show, offering inside scoops on the playwright, characters, plots, and themes that make Shakespeare the king of the stage.
