    Just a heads up... Miller Outdoor Theater (located in Hermann Park) is running "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and also "Much Ado About Nothing" through Sunday.


    I have seen both plays now and highly recommend them for even those who usually may cringe when they think of Shakespeare plays. These are delightfully done and very funny.

    If you grab free tickets (box office opens 1 hour before the show starts), you can get a seat near the front which has some ventilation.


    Or if you prefer, you can sit out on the lawn and view from afar.

    I'm always meaning to go check stuff out at Miller Outdoor Theater, but then I never do. I'm a true Houstonian.

    Thank you for this reminder, dear sir. I was a thespian a while back... and :( I have seen only a few Shakespearean plays... I need to see more.

    ":mad: You uncultured swine!"
    Name that movie. :eek: (difficulty: easy - bonus REP for a graphic/image/picture showing the scene or extra dialogue)

    EDIT:
    +Rep - WELL DONE, CheeZeyBoy. :eek: (below)

    Ham: "I don't get it."
    Potato head: "You uncultured swine! And what are YOU looking at, ya' hockey puck?"

    Do you have a list of the actors or who's performing?

    GlenRice or moes, would you rate it PG or PG-13? (aside from the Shakesperean insults) :confused:

    Hard to say really, I think most of the content is suitable for all ages.

    I'd say A Midsummer Night's Dream was certainly PG, but Much Ado About Nothing might push a little bit closer to PG-13 as it has quite a few innuendos you're sure to appreciate.
