The country's second-oldest, non-profit Shakespeare festival takes place each summer in Dallas, regaling spectators with fantastic, contemporary performances of Renaissance-era texts. Each season, two plays are selected for the summer event (for 2008, Othello and All's Well That Ends Well). Gates open at 7:30pm, and guests are invited to bring a picnic. October performances take place at the Samuell-Grand Amphitheater, Addison Circle Park and the University of North Texas.
