Playhouse To Host Free
Shakespeare Festival In The Park
RIDGEFIELD â The Ridgefield Playhouse is hoping to establish an annual midsummer Shakespeare festival.
Shakespeare on the Green, as it will be called, will be a professional free outdoor Shakespeare festival, and it will be held outside on the field next to the playhouse.
This yearâs event will debut on Saturday, August 12, at 2 pm, with a performance of A Midsummer Nightâs Dream. The performance will be by The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and will take place rain or shine under a tent.
âThis is a great way to give back to the community while at the same time celebrate the arts and Ridgefield,â says Playhouse Executive Director Allison Stockel. âAll on that one day there will be The Nutmeg Festival at St Stephenâs Church, weâre having the Shakespeare on the Green, and then that night we have Bo Diddley performing [at the playhouse].â
