Just look at what you missed!
Okay, you can't really look. But mounting a production takes time, effort, skill, and well, love. That so many gave so much to make each production happen, we want to use this space to again thank them, and perhaps tells a fun anecdote or two (and photos -- you know there will be photos).
The Comedy of Errors (Fall 2007).
We didn't set out with a plan to bring Shakespeare and flaming cars to parks throughout the city. Some times you just get, um, lucky, and New York reminds you that it still can be a wild and wooly place. Our plan was simple: in this city Shakespeare in the Park usually means just one park. And in a city with literally dozens, in varied and vibrant communities, we thought it was fair and fun to reclaim the idea of 'in the park' for all parks. Acknowledging another tradition in theatre, we spend October as roving troubadours, ranging from the highest point in Manhattan, to the, um, fieryest part of Queens. Thanks to the poor (but well insured, we hope) maintenance skills of that gentleman in Astoria, we braved all the elements before it was done.
Though a 'fiery conclusion' to our performance schedule makes for a witty anecdote, it shouldn't obscure the significance of our site selection and the success we found. In keeping with our mission, we wanted to pick sites that were part of established communities that aren't a popular desitination of cultural groups. That's not to say there isn't tremendous culture in these communinites, but our particular aspiration to cross-pollinate works best when we seek out the communities of interest, instead of trying to cajole them into coming to us. Plus, you don't have get in line at 6AM to get tickets.
