Summer Shakespeare - Barnsdall Art Park
My goal this summer is to hit every outdoor Shakespeare production in the So. Cal area. I am going to start with Barnsdall Art Park; they have a really great-sounding line-up performed by the Independent Shakespeare Co.: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Richard II, and Macbeth. Tonight (Saturday) is A Midsummer Night’s Dream at 7:30 pm. I have never been before to this festival, so I am not sure what the parking situation will be like. The performance is free, too (donations appreciated)! Nothing like free Bard, to make a good, unhip summer; performances run through the beginning of September. The photo above of the park is from you-are-here.com, which has great photography of Los Angeles landmarks, shot by a German engineer who visits L.A. often. Check it out! Also, if you didn’t know, the Barnsdall Art Park has a museum, art center, and the Hollyhock House (above) which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
"Some seating is available, or bring a blanket and stretch out on the lawn.
Please dress warmly, and reservations are recommended."
