Through September 7. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga. What better way to spend a summer’s eve? Theatricum brings back its award-winning, signature production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream. It’s an audience favorite with a set design unrivaled by any other theatre - because it's the real thing. The most magical outdoor setting in LA is once again transformed into an enchanted fairy forest inhabited by lovers both fairy and human - a world of wonder, magic and romance, where comical misunderstandings and the pain of unrequited love are resolved, and all is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and the enduring power of nature. 310-455-3723. www.theatricum.com.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
August 28. Doors 8pm. Show 9pm. The Echo. 1822 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles. We love everything Echo Park. We’re not gonna lie. But The Echo might just be our favorite thing about this full-of-art-and-heart LA neighborhood. It’s the perfect intimate music venue. But the real reason we’re excited about this show? The undeniably awesome and ridiculously inspiring Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Their sincere blend of punk, folk and pop is contagious. And after last year’s canceled gig, we’ve been waiting for their return with bated breath. Sorry kids, 18+ with ID. Full bar for 21+. 213-413-8200. www.attheecho.com.
