Shakespeare is joining Waukegan Park District's Movies in the Park program
For more than 15 years, Waukegan residents flocked to free showings of movies in the city's parks and this year the Waukegan Park District is adding Shakespeare in the Park, offering live theater in an outdoor setting. Angela Marcum, a cultural affairs specialist for the park district, said Movies in the Park draws hundreds of people to an evening of free movies and popcorn as well as other activities. She has seen outdoor performances of Shakespeare elsewhere and wants to introduce them to Waukegan. 'We celebrate the arts in Waukegan, and this brings a different experience to the community,' Marcum said. 'We've added another place people can see live theater for free. We're trying to make theater accessible and we're also trying to inject some joy into the community.' Known for tragedies and comedies, Marcum selected an abridged one-hour version of William Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' It is one of the playwright's lighter works and suitable for family entertainment. Movies in the Park opens with a showing of 'Moana 2' Saturday evening at Victory Park in Waukegan, with 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' premiering at 6 p.m. on July 21 at Bowen Park, giving people a variety of free entertainment. With a cast of 16 actors, Marcum said there will be two performances of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' Along with the staging on June 21, there will be a 3 p.m. show on June 22 at the same location. 'It's in the formal gardens at Bowen Park,' Marcum said, 'People can bring their picnic and blankets. There are also benches in the area. Deanna Dietz is directing 'A Midsummer Night's Dream. She has 30 years of experience acting and doing a variety of theater-related tasks. She directed Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' at a theater in San Diego a few years ago. She believes people will relate to the show. 'People can see themselves in the characters,' Dietz said. 'People can relate to Shakespeare because his themes are timeless. This play is family-friendly. Children will enjoy it too.': Family-friendly is also the byword for the five movies. Marcum said the pictures start at dusk at a different park throughout the summer. There are also activities for everyone there starting at 7 p.m. The Arts Park van arrives around then and people can do an art project before the show. 'We pick movies people want to see and are still popular,' Marcum said. Each movie night has an attraction other than Arts Park. On opening night, Marcum said a dentist from Orthodontic Experts will be handing out free floss. The Waukegan Public Library's mobile van will come to some of the movie nights. 'If' is the movie on July 12 at Diversity Park. Marcum said Culver's will be offering free frozen custard as long as supplies last. 'Mufasa' is showing July 26 at Country Lane Park, Movie night will be part of the city's annual Touch a Truck and Waukegan Night Out on Aug. 8 at the Waukegan Municipal Beach. 'The Garfield Movie' will be shown. 'Inside Out 2' will finish the season Aug. 16 at Bowen Park. The movie will be shown as part of the 25th annual Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine Arts & Music Festival.

Lawmakers get theatrical at annual ‘Will on the Hill' show
Several lawmakers took a break from debating legislation on Capitol Hill to instead recite William Shakespeare at Harman Hall on Tuesday evening. The Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC) hosted its annual 'Will on the Hill,' welcoming members of Congress, journalists and students to perform popular Shakespeare scenes to fund its youth arts education programs, which reach nearly 20,000 students and teachers across the region. The more than 20-year long tradition also seeks to promote bipartisanship, bringing together lawmakers and political strategists from across the aisle to bolster support for theatre and the arts. Rep. Dina Titus's (D-Nev.) performance of the last scene of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was the hit of the night. Her interpretation of old-English Shakespeare, which included a Southern accent, made the crowd roar in laughter. Another notable performance was the standoff between the Capulets and Montagues, two enemy families, in the opening scene of 'Romeo and Juliet.' As Atlantic journalist Steve Clemons, Republican political strategist Grover Norquist, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) and Fox News correspondent Rich Edson bit their thumbs at each other on stage, the producers noted that giving them foam swords was the safest amid a tense political climate. The crowd then commended Sen. Chris Coons's (D-Del.) impersonation of Brutus plotting the assassination of Julius Caesar in the Shakespeare play of the same name. With political tensions rattling the country, seeing lawmakers fumbling over their words and trying to remember their lines proved to be refreshing entertainment. The elected officials were accompanied on stage by Holly Twyford, a pillar of D.C. theatre, and Renea Brown, an award winning actor. The show also included a stage combat demonstration by STC students. An elementary school student brilliantly played King Oberon in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and two high school students performed 'All's Well That Ends Well.' STC Executive Director Angela Lee Gieras praised the event as an opportunity for children to express themselves, highlighting the courage it takes to perform in front of an audience. This year's performance was presented by Michael Evans, former Democratic chief counsel and deputy staff director for the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, who is an avid Shakespeare enthusiast. Samantha Wyer Bello, STC's senior director of learning, returned to direct her sixth production of 'Will on the Hill.' The STC also honored the memory of the late Democratic Reps. Gerry Connolly (Va.) and Charles Rangel (N.Y.) for their dedication to public service and their year-after-year support of 'Will on the Hill.' Other notable cast members included Rep. Gabe Amo (D-RI), D.C. Council chairman Phil Mendelson, DC councilmember Brooke Pinto, D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities executive director Aaron Myers, Washington Post columnist James Hohmann and Politico journalist Olivia Beavers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
