Its summertime and for Portland (and many other cities) this means Shakespeare in the Park. Public parks all around the city host performances by Portland Actors Ensemble Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day. Starting on July 30, you can catch the Bards Much Ado About Nothing being done with minimal props and on a budget of donations in the great outdoors.
Portland Actors Ensemble always does a wonderful job entertaining audiences across Portland. Bring your own snacks and blanket and enjoy a beautifully acted and staged 5 Act play about a respectable nobleman who plays matchmaker for his niece while planning his daughters wedding. The plot is witty and laugh-out-loud funny, as are all of Shakespeares comedies. Drop a few dollars in the donation box and still have one of the most frugal and entertaining afternoons out in Portland.
This is a great way to introduce children to Shakespeare or theater in general, since it costs you almost nothing and during intermission, they can go run around the park and get out their energy before part two begins.
Below is the schedule of performances and locations:
Sat. July 30 Laurelhurst Park, 3pm

Sun. "The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Planning and consuming our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Reducing expending and costs, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". September 4 Reed College, 3pm
Mon. September 5 Reed College, 3pm
(The August 14th production in Washington Park is also sign language interpreted for the hearing impaired.)
