What a weekend!
July 21st, 2008
I barely made it home yesterday before I collapsed in the hammock and slept for three hours. But what a great weekend for the Mountain Shakespeare Festival.
The Bard’s Faire, which miraculously came together in less than a week, was a lot of fun for the kids who participated or just came to fling cabbages or fish for toys. Allie Jo’s original songs and the great live tunes made for a fun day. I wish I could recall all the groups who participated but perhaps someone can post that here to help me out.
While all this fun was going on I gave some kids from the age of 4 - 14 some initial tips on sword fighting. I can only say that it was less dangerous than it sounds! (The swords were wooden, which helped a lot.)
The other big excitements were the great reception we got for Comedy of Errors - the cast really got its stride and the show took off - I also had the thrill of going on in on a role because the young actor got a severe sunburn. I’ve “been there” and when I saw just how bad the burn was I did my best to fill in for him. Jake will be back next weekend to close out the show and promises never to forget the sun screen.
