Summer Means Shakespeare

Since GreenStage has sent us three--count them, THREE--emails in as many hours, we bow to their online onslaught and report to you that their 21st annual Shakespeare in the Park series starts this Friday. On the docket through August 15th are The Comedy of Errors and King John. Both plays make the rounds to eleven locations in the Seattle area, and all performances are free of charge (though donations are gladly accepted, natch). Performance calendar here. This weekend also marks the Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival in Volunteer Park, featuring Shakespeare and more from several local companies.
