Yesterday was the opening night for the Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona, Minnesota. I haven't yet seen the shows (but I shall—and a write-up will follow), but, knowing the company, some of the actors, and the director, I'm confident that these are productions that you must not miss.

Further, they're having a sonnet competition! Brush up on your iambic pentameter and submit something.

But, more importantly, get your tickets and see some delightful Shakespeare!
