“Shakespeare on the Green” is an outdoor theater festival series at Elmwood Park showcasing classics from the immortal titular playwright.

One from Shakespeare’s late romance period, “The Tempest,” runs from June 23-26, July 8, 10, 13, 14, and 16, while “Othello” runs once on June 30, then throughout July 3, 6, 7, 9, 15, and 17. Directors include Scott Glasser and Tyrone Beasley.

Elmwood Park and Nebraskan Shapeskeare hold fascinating histories, but these stories also connect with modern times. The shows start at noon and cost nothing to attend.
