Shakespeare in the Park question (country, cities, free)

[Hopeful for Life]

I’ve never been to one of these, but am interested in going to one coming up. Do they normally recite EVERY WORD of the play or excerpts?

Yes, they perform the entire play.

If you're referring to the NYC event, you might do better asking in the NYC forum.

Yes, they perform the entire play, but that's not to say that it might not be edited, as frequented happens with Shakespeare. There are also other free/cheap summer Shakespeare options besides that.

Most cities have Shakespeare in the park during the summer. It's not just a New York thing.

Since the OPs location is Houston, they're probably considering going to the Houston Shakespeare festival, although the question can apply to many other such events happening around the country.
