Last night was the final performance of Bad Dates - the final show of our 33rd season. Now, our thoughts can really turn to summer.
The Upstate Shakespeare Festival’s King Lear has been going great down in the park - and received a great review from The Greenville News. They’ll continue tonight at 7:00, as well as the next three weekends: May 24-27, May 31-June 3 and June 7-10. As always, admission is free, but we thank you in advance for any small donation you can make.
Next week, there’s also some great improv comedy coming up from The Distracted Globe Theatre Company next week. So join us at Camp Aye-Wonna-Dolla for milk and cookies, campfire singalongs and silly stunts like only summer camp can do it. May 24 @ 8:00 and May 25 @ 10:30. Admission is only $5, but you’ll have the opportunity to bid on different occurrences throughout the evening, so bring a couple extra bucks… and your footie pajamas.
The Upstate Shakespeare Festival opens its first show of the summer tonight! King Lear opens tonight at Falls Part on the Reedy at 7:00 tonight. Bring a chair or a blanket, maybe some munchies, and get there early to get a good seat!
And tonight begins the last weekend of Bad Dates at The Warehouse Theatre. Playing tonight, Friday and Saturday at 8:00. Don’t miss it!
This weekend is, as you know, the closing of the last show of our 33rd season - Bad Dates. And, as part of closing weekend, join us for a special additional talk back after the Friday, May 18th performance. Any audience member at the Friday performance will receive a coupon for a free drink and the opportunity to join the actor and director for a cozy Q&A at Latitude. We’ll see you there!
Meanwhile… in the park…
Did you know that there are two distinct versions of King Lear? In the quarto, it’s called The True Chronicle of the History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters and The Tragedy of King Lear in the first folio. Fascinating, eh? There are all kinds of fun facts in the Wikipedia article on King Lear… so bone up on your Lear and head down to the Falls Park May 17-June 10.
Of course, there’s plenty going on at The Warehouse before the 07-08 season gets going.
First and foremost - we still have 4 performances of Bad Dates - the last show of the 06-07 season. Read the reviews here and here… then call us for reservations! Playing TODAY (May 13) at 3:00 and May 17-19 at 8:00. See you soon!
