Do you ever ask yourself if life is a dream? As you watch the sun go down over Lake Tahoe, beyond the towering redwoods in a Santa Cruz forest, or fade over the Pacific Ocean from a hilltop vista at Rancho Palos Verdes (shown in picture,) it’s almost too magical for words. And to make it seem even more surreal, actors on outdoor stages throughout California perform plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. ‘Tis a scene played out each summer and best of all, several of the finest Shakespeare theatre productions are absolutely free! Bring a blanket, lawn chair and prepare to enjoy a real midsummer night.
