Twelfth Night

For a while now this blog has focused on the political aspects of Waterbury, and my involvement in some of the issues facing the Brass City. Not everything in Waterbury is politically based, however, and every so often there comes a time for fun and entertainment.

Starting this Thursday (6/18), Shakesperience Productions will be hosting their 5th Annual "Shakespeare In Library Park". This event has provided the citizens of Waterbury with some wonderful entertainment on what has usually been a relaxing summer evening.

This year the folks at Shakesperience will be performing "Twelfth Night". The shows begin at 7 PM and will be held on the 18-20, and 25-27 of June. There is a suggested $10 donation, and you can arrive at the park at 6:30, bring a picnic lunch, and enjoy some classic theatre. After the show you can join the cast at one of the many downtown restaurants for food and drink. The specific locations for the after show parties will be announced at each nights show.

Since it began in 2005, Shakespeare in Library Park has been a great benefit to the city of Waterbury, and a lot of fun. I hope anyone that has a chance to make it comes down to enjoy some great theatre in the shadow of the clock tower.

(For the sake of full disclosure, I do have a small part at the beginning of the show.)
