Editorial Review for Miller Outdoor Theatre – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Inside Hermann Park, you can take a picnic and watch a concert or play--even better, it's free. Essential items for an afternoon or evening on the hill are a blanket, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. The theater was renovated in 2000 and holds a wide variety of family-friendly performances each year, including Cinco de Mayo and Fourth of July festivities. Also catch Shakespeare in the Park, the Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera.

Viewing a performance at Miller Outdoor Theatre is reminiscent of a sixties lovefest. People bring the whole family, dogs included. I didn't notice any cats, but would not have been surprised to see them as well. Pick a mild night, and yo'll not have a better outdoor Houston Experience.
Pros: Family Oriented, Ambience, Price ($0.00)
Cons: Can be hot

Grab a couple of beach chairs, or even blankets and pillows; pack a picnic, and pray for a cool breeze. A very good variety of shows each season. The one unpleasant note would be the heat; my family prefers to avoid July and August here, so we usually miss out on the Shakespeare Festival. If you go, remember your bug spray and bring water!
Pros: free seating, fun atmosphere, ok to bring chairs
Cons: not enough parking, heat in late summer
