ReplyDeleteShould we be looking for you?
What a brilliant idea! Like the modern costumes. And how nice to be able to sit outside without umbrellas!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to live :) I love it. Hope you have fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such fun and such a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteFree Summer Shakespeare is awesome. I remember taking a couple of visitors through Washington Square Park, which (since they were from small-town North Carolina and had just watched the movie Kids) freaked them out. A Midsummer Night's Dream ambushed us, courtesy of the Guerrilla Shakespeare Company. What a pleasant surprise that was.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!
