So my theater company The Storytellers has been running around Chicago Parks this summer performing a small 30 min one act called When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet. It is a silly farce about some famous leading ladies meeting in Juliet's garden to talk her out of waisting her life on Romeo. We have been well recieved. We have made $50 bucks in donations, and had a grand total of about 48 audience members so far in 6 park performances. Not bad I think. Our fundraiser is monday night at an actual theater, and that is where we expect to make the most $. It has been a lovely time working with some great women, and performing to strangers who were so greatful for the show. This pic is from tonights performance in Grant park. I am sitting on our one set piece, and the picture is taken from the audience perspective. And there were BUNNIES in the garden! this shot was just after the show ended.
