“And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.” This week you can have your love of Shakespeare at a reasonable price: free. See the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in the Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the front lawn of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. It’s A Mid(week) Summer Night’s Dream, and it’s free! Bring your blanket and watch the magic unfold at dusk. To make it an evening, show up at 6 p.m. for Graeter’s on the veranda and VIP seating — for $10.
7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6. Free. Clifton Cultural Arts Center, 3711, Clifton Ave., Clifton. facebook.com/enjoythearts.
