The economy still sucks. Jay Leno seems to be the only thing on TV, and all our most beloved celebrities (Patrick Swayze, DJ AM) seem to still be dying off, after the summer of losses (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett etc.).
So why not step away from the 24/7 memorial service that is television these days and head on out to see some Shakespeare?
Wandering Souls, a new theatre troupe in the area, is presenting their debut production, The Winter's Tale, for free this week. Wandering Souls strives to make the richness of the arts more easily accessible to those who may find themselves with little or no access due to sociological, economic, physical, or other unexpected life reasons.
The Winter's Tale is directed by Adam Jonas Segallar and features JJ Area, Lex Davis, Kristen Garaffo, Kelsey Meiklejohn, Karen Novack, Betsy Rosen and Teresa Spencer. Wandering Souls has taken the Bard's classic tale of jealous, love, grief, and redemption and distilled it down to 90 action-packed minutes. The 7 talented actors in the cast cover 20+ parts. But don't worry, they've left in Shakespeare's famous stage direction regarding the bear.
