  • When I first moved to Toronto, I'd never even heard of "Shakespeare in the Park". I'd not thought that it would be at all conducive to the art of theatre. Having performed on stage as a stand-up, I know that outdoor distractions do not make for a good night of comedy at all. By extension, I assumed that the same would be said about theatre. So, I was looking forward to "Shakespeare in the Park" as much as I would "Beckett on a Bus": or "Noel Coward in a Handicapped Public Bathroom Stall". I was mistaken. Operated by CanStage (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-canadian-stage-company-toronto), with the proper direction, the park becomes integral to the story, the set becoming more than a setting but integral to the performance. If you get the chance to see "A Midsummer Nights Dream" at this venue, you'll see exactly how good outdoor theatre can be. The sound and lighting are all gauged perfectly for the sold out crowds that attend, calibrated for shows that begin right at dusk. Also note that because you're outside, and because the stage can get slippery, and the sound and lighting equipment can electrocute when wet, performances can be called on account of rain. Another thing to be aware of is the fact that the hill does tend to sell out. You'd do well to bring a picnic dinner, get their early, and find a place on a tier. In the old days, there was no terracing on the hill facing the stage, so it was easy to find yourself ever so gradually rolling down the hill so that the entire audience ended up in a pile in front of the stage. The terracing work on the hill takes away from that now. Even though performances are Pay-What-You-Can, the recommended donation of $20 is worth every penny.
