Shakespeare Festival

The Chron and the Houston Press both give Sidney Berger's Miller Outdoor Theater production of A Midsummer Night's Dream favorable reviews.

Sidney Berger is outstanding, and the drama department he helped build at UH is another one of the city's hidden jewels. He started the Houston Shakespeare Festival nearly 30 years ago, and it's become one of the more popular items put on at Miller. I'm looking forward to seeing his production tonight. The last time I saw this performed was at an outdoor venue in a Wimbledon park 3 summers ago, and it was a great production. I suspect Berger's will also be excellent.

(Update) Great performance. Beautiful set design and costumes, and a fast pace that is highly welcome in the sauna that is Houston right now. I highly recommend this excellent, free performance.
