Shakespeare in the park — locally, that means Mill Race Park — hasn’t happened since stage veteran John Johnson directed a well-attended Mill Race Players’ production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” complete with a melodic pop music soundtrack, in July 2000. The bard returns to the great outdoors downtown July 25 when Boston’s touring Brown Box Theatre Project will present a free presentation of “Much Ado About Nothing.” Information: brownboxtheatre.org
