One of my favorite rites of summer in Chicago has become Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks, and with the amount of people asking for information on the 2017 season, (with accessible performances), it appears on all sides of the city, I'm not alone.
Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier, with the producers, actors, stagehands working with the City of Chicago, volunteers, local Park Advisory committees, and of course sponsors continue this wonderful new tradition in Chicago. The information posted below is from the "Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier" website.

THE PLAY
Join us for one of our city’s favorite summer traditions! Now in its sixth year, the FREE FOR ALL Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks tour heads out for another summer. This free 75-minute abridged production of Romeo and Juliet is coming to neighborhood parks across the north, west and south sides of the city. At each tour location, a specially equipped truck rolls into the park, a stage unfolds, and a company of professional actors shares Shakespeare’s story of star-crossed lovers with families and neighbors of all ages.
The feud between the Capulets and Montagues divides a city. From these two proud families, Romeo and Juliet fall in love. Can these star-crossed lovers bring peace to Verona?
The citywide tour is made possible by a renewed civic, cultural and corporate partnership between Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the City of Chicago, Chicago Park District, Boeing and BMO Harris Bank. Since the inception of the Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks program six years ago, more than 100,000 Chicagoans have taken advantage of free performances in their communities.

400 years after Shakespeare's death, thousands of Chicagoans came out to their neighborhood parks to celebrate what his means to them and why his work truly is for everyone.
