Houston Shakespeare Festival
Each summer, the Houston Shakespeare Festival produces a season of two Shakespeare
plays in repertory. Since its inception in 1975, HSF has entertained nearly a half million
theatergoers with free performances in Hermann Park's Miller Outdoor Theatre. Festival
audiences are as diverse as Houston itself, with many people experiencing live theatre for
the first time. Now celebrating its thirty-seventh season, the Houston Shakespeare Festival has grown
into one of the major events on Houston's summer entertainment calendar. HSF is a
recognized Equity theatre.
Miller Outdoor Theatre
Houston's Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park is unique in the United States, offering
an 8-month season of professional entertainment that is artistically excellent, culturally
diverse and always FREE of charge to the public. This is the largest "always free" program
of its kind in the country. The theatre is located on approximately 7.5 acres of land in
Hermann Park, site of the Houston Zoo, the Garden Center and the Museum of natural
science. Seating is provided for 1,705 patrons and 20 wheelchair spaces, plus a sloping
