Free Shakespeare in the park returns this summer at Miller Outdoor Theatre. Houston Shakespeare Festival by University of Houston has attracted nearly 500,000 Houstonians to free Shakespeare performances since 1975 at Miller Outdoor Theatre.

The Comedy of Errors, written by a young Shakespeare, features romance, slapstick, action and more. Performances begin at 8:30 pm August 4, 8, 10, and 12.
