Geneva Shakespeare in the Park (on Third Street)

Geneva's popular Shakespeare in the Park event has a new venue this year due to this summer's construction closing of Island Park. The performance will be held on Third Street, in front of the Geneva History Center, with seating on the Kane County Courthouse lawn.

Shakespeare in the Park will become Shakespeare in the Street when the Midsummer Theater Troupe performs “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at 6 p.m., Saturday, July 21, on Third Street between James and Campbell Streets. Admission is free.

Seating for the play begins at 5 p.m. on the courthouse lawn; those attending should bring blankets and chairs as well as picnics. Attendees are encouraged to visit area restaurants for their favorite fare or to pack their own special meal assembled from Geneva specialty food shops.   

Parking is available on street and behind the Kane County Courthouse.
