Is there really "too much of a good thing"? Not when it comes to free Shakespeare in the park! And tonight is your LAST CHANCE to catch ours until July. We all may "have seen better days," but rarely better plays than AS YOU LIKE IT. If you have waited "forever and a day" for a wintertime Shakespeare Festival, then join us tonight for our final performance. "All the world's a stage" and ours is set for 8:00 p.m. tonight in Commons Park. Bring your beach chair or blanket and let us know after how many common phrases you find in this hilarious, joyful show!
