Theatricum set for outdoor summer season

Celebrated for lively, expansive productions by William Shakespeare that fill the outdoor stage and spill over into the surrounding woods, Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum opens its 2025 "Season of Resilience" with two of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. Much Ado About Nothing remains one of the most exuberant and spirited battles of the sexes ever written, while A Midsummer Night's Dream might be the Bard's most entertaining and beguiling play. There's no better way to watch Shakespeare come alive than by spending a summer afternoon or evening at Theatricum's spectacular amphitheater, carved into a rustic hillside in Topanga.

Much Ado About Nothing
Performances: June 7-September 13
Sparks fly as two couples become ensnared in a whirlwind of lies and deceptions in Shakespeare's sparkling comedy of romance, wit, and intrigue. Tensions rise, and the humor reaches new heights, filled with clever wordplay and unexpected twists, culminating in a celebration where love conquers all.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
June 8-September 15
Theatricum returns with its signature production! The most magical outdoor setting in Los Angeles becomes an enchanted forest inhabited by lovers both fairy and human. Shakespeare conjures a world of wonder, magic, and romance where comical misunderstandings and the pain of unrequited love are resolved. All is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and the enduring power of nature.
