Shakespeare in the Park is 
 an annual event by The Magik
 Theatre that brings free, full-scale
 productions of Shakespeare’s work
 to our community. Hosted by the
 San Antonio Botanical Gardens,
 Shakespeare in the Park brings San
 Antonians of all ages together in the
 balmy summer twilight to experience
 the joys, sorrows, trials, and
 triumphs of Shakespeare’s
 characters and stories.

 

 Since 2005, Shakespeare in the

 Park has played to over 35,000

 people, with vibrant, exciting

 productions of A Midsummer Night’s

 Dream, Macbeth, The Taming of the

 Shrew, and The Tempest. The festival

 has also provided employment for

 more than 50 local artists and technicians.

 

For Shakespeare in the Park 2009, we are planning something extraordinary: an innovative production of one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, As You Like It, June 3-6.
