Be certain to include a trip to Winona, Minnesota in your summer plans, and make sure that your trip occurs between Friday, June 26 and Sunday, July 26. That month—that royal month of kings, that scepter'd month, that other Eden, demi-paradise, that blessed month—that month is the month of the Great River Shakespeare Festival. Every time we've gone (this will be, I believe, our third time), we've been stunned by the magnificence of the productions.
This year, they're giving us The Tempest and Love's Labour's Lost. I'm not sure who's playing in each—my cast list above is more hopeful than anything else (though I'll let you know who's playing what—and who's directing what—when I know it myself)—but I'm certain that this year's season will be, once again, a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Or at least for that month.
Head to the GRSF website to get your tickets!

ReplyDeleteClap clap clap clap clap clap clapThanks, Mr. Scholz-Carlson, for providing Bardfilm with this information! We hope that rehearsals are going well and that you're all treating Chris Gerson and Tarah Flanagan with the resect they deserve (i.e., teasing them like crazy at every opportunity).
