We had a nice turn out for Shakespeare’s Richard III on the evening of July 13th under starry skies...low humidity..and a serious performance by Commonwealth Classic Theater. A departure from the lighter fare that the company has successfully produced to date, (including Moliere’s The Miser and Shakespeare’sMuch Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream), this production promised to be—in the words of director, Dan Hodge—a “rollicking thrill-ride” ...and it was. Interesting sword ights and clever executions kept the audiences attention. Surprised to see the kids staying till the very end.
Thank you to the following: Our PR team of Cynthia Kishinchand, Christina Kistler & Sandy McIlvaine. Rich Lampert for his grant writing expertise. Roger Marsh for scrubbing our entrance signs. John-david Franklin for hanging the banners. The Department of Parks and Recreation and the East Falls Community Council for generous gifts of support. Thanks to everyone who attended.
