(knock on wood)

Tonight’s performance happened in a steady mist of almost-rain, but the forecast through the weekend is clear and warm, so if you’ve stayed away in the past few days because of the weather: the rest of the run will will be a series of perfectly delightful summer nights.

We promise!

See you on the Common!

Steph's CoE Picture

Hi!  I took this picture of the show last night, and thought you might want it for your blog?  The show was a lot of fun – great acting, costumes, and lighting!  I especially liked the dances in between scenes and the onstage greyhound!
