These three companies all host FREE events throughout the summer at outdoor venues. Dress baby in pajamas ahead of time, bring the stroller, and put her to bed at the start of Act 3…and in case you have visions of a life on stage for your little drama queen, I also found a summer Shakespeare theatre program for kids!
