Actors’ Theatre of Columbus: Enjoy open-air Shakespearean theater for free on Memorial Day through Labor Day. These free performances in the park began more than 20 years ago. It is said that the tradition started when a dog led co-founders Patricia and Gary Ellson there. Once there, they found an unused bandshell. Having a love for Shakespeare, the two sought permission to use the stage to offer free shows to the community. Well, as they say, the rest is history. What was started as an amateur group grew into a professional production, and has attracted hundreds of thousands of spectators. Enjoy this fascinating tradition.
