There is a mistake in the dates for Art Farm; the show is not this week.
ReplyDeleteThe correct dates for Art Farm's production of "Shakespeare's Argument" are Thur July 14 to Sun 17, and also Thur July 21 to Sun July 24. Pre-show musician at 6pm, play at 7pm. Venue is Middlesex Community College's wonderful Grove - bring a picnic, and blanket or chairs.
For more info, please see: http://www.art-farm.org. Hope to see you there!
A correction to my correction: the original post isn't a mistake; it's about a separate event downtown this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe Shakespeare in the Grove dates at MxCC that I gave are correct.
It seems like the dates are correct--this will be actors performing portions of "Shakespeare's Argument" on Main Street to give people 'a taste' for the full performances July 14-17 and July 21-24.
