This festival, started in 1958, has presented all the Shakespeare plays. It is now the fifth-largest Shakespeare company in the United States, according to the Shakespeare Theatre Association. In 1999, the three plays scheduled included, The Comedy of Errors , The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV , parts 1 and 2. After the sun goes down, the evening can turn cool, so toting a sweater, jacket and even rain gear is smart too. This Native American festival features storytellers, dance and drum presentations.
