I look forward to the Shakespeare Festival every year. Even though my kids are really too little to get Shakespeare, they have a great time at the plays (especially watching the jugglers before the play!) just being outside. It's even better that it's free! In addition to the play, the Green Show which starts at 6:30pm has lots of activities and games for kids and adults to participate in.
In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis brings Hamlet, the pinnacle of Shakespeare’s canon, to Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park. St. Louisan and Kevin Kline Award winner Jim Butz plays the title role of the doomed young prince with a stellar cast of 18 actors, two thirds of whom are from St. Louis.
Each year the Festival produces professional Shakespeare theatre in Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park free to the public, and year-round Education Programs. The Festival’s 10th Anniversary 2010 production, Hamlet, runs May 28 through June 20, nightly except Tuesdays and June 5 (preview shows will be May 26 and 27).

Prodigal--Sept 10-12
From the Prodigal website:
On six starry, late summer nights, an extraordinary retelling of an age-old tale will unfold in Forest Park. At the surface is a fully integrated art experience, embodied by original music, dynamic light, mise-en-scène and an ensemble of dancers. And at the core is a stirring reflection on the paradoxes of life.
An unprecendented fusion of movement, music, and media that explores the parable about family and self-discovery.
Original work created and directed by Tom Brady, ANNONYArts consortium artist. Choreographed by Monica Newsam and Tom Brady.
Performances will begin at 8:30pm. It is advised to bring lawn chairs and blankets for seating.
In the event of rain or storms, the performance may be delayed up to 1 hour. If the weather persists, that evening's performance will be cancelled.
All performances will take place at Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park. These performances are family-friendly!
