Free films take over Washington Park Wednesdays in summer.
Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, pretty and pleasant Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) can’t go to prom unless her uptight sister (Julia Stiles) does. Thankfully, bad boy Patrick (Heath Ledger, RIP) steps in.
Bring some chairs or a blanket and head to the park early to claim a spot on the lawn. The concession stand is open for snacks and alcohol (and also non-alcohol).
9-11 p.m. Free admission. Washington Park, 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, washingtonpark.org.
