ArtsWave, the region’s engine for the arts offers an afternoon of theater at Boone Woods Park as part of its free outdoor concert series, Enjoy the Arts @ Parks, presented by Macy’s.

A new monthly series, Enjoy the Arts @ Parks showcases the diversity and excellence of Greater Cincinnati’s arts at parks across the region.

The afternoon kicks off at 1 p.m. with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company performing a new production of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Julius Caesar. This all new production is 90-minute play, directed by Christian Wiltshire, and has been produced to be staged outside.

At 3:30 p.m., The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati will present Martin’s Dream. Directed by Dr. Daryl Harris, Martin’s Dream is a one-person show created and performed by Deondra Kamau Means. Means will lead an exploration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life through story, speech and song. Audiences will follow along from Dr. King’s childhood in the Deep South through his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

New donors to ArtsWave and those increasing their last gift by 10%+ can receive a free year-long Great Parks of Hamilton County Motor Vehicle Permit, which allows free parking at all Great Parks of Hamilton County throughout 2021, as well as other benefits.

 Macy’s has sponsored ArtsWave’s Campaign event activities for more than 15 years. Their support has enabled ArtsWave to engage residents across the region in the arts during the time of year when the community comes together to keep those arts funded. That engagement is critical for ArtsWave, which is the largest community arts fund in the nation. It takes tens of thousands of donations from individuals and support from hundreds of companies and organizations to make their Campaign successful. Funds from the 2021 Campaign will support 100+ projects and organizations throughout the 15 counties that make up the Cincinnati Region.
