"Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
Details
Synopsis from the website:
"Theatricum returns with its signature production! The most magical outdoor setting in Los Angeles becomes an enchanted forest inhabited by lovers, both fairy and human. Shakespeare conjures a world of wonder, magic, and romance, where comical misunderstandings and the pain of unrequited love are resolved. All is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and the enduring power of nature."

The play begins at 3:30 but it's wise to arrive at least by 2:30 or earlier to find good parking, and to eat before the play starts. There are tables and chairs near the snack bar in the garden. You can bring your own food and drink or buy food there: https://theatricum.com/food-drink/.
I'll be walking through the gardens, and probably snacking, around 2:30-3:00. If I don't see you there, I'll see you in the theater.

A little history
