Description
Due to COVID-19 health and safety measures mandated by the City, all Chicago Park District Night Out in the Parks events—including the Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour—are moving online this summer.Â
Carrying on the program’s community-building spirit, the Theater will showcase local artists from the north, west and south sides of the city in an online Virtual Tour. Plus, Chicagoans of all ages are invited to bring Shakespeare to life outdoors with #MyMidsummerCHI, and to tune in for a WTTW Channel 11 special celebrating this free community program that has reached 175,000 audience members since its inception in 2012.Â
For the 18 days leading up to the WTTW Channel 11 broadcast, the Parks Department will highlight a different neighborhood every day—sharing the organizations, local businesses, and performers that make these communities such an essential part of the fabric of our city.Â
