Spring Performance time slot

Shakespeareans
are invited to
prepare material...

The Spring performances
are set for the
last weekend in April
and the
first weekend in May

Anyone wishing to present a performance during that time slot are invited to prepare their material.

The program remains "Scenes & Music" with a film showing of "Cinema Under the Stars" After dark.After having review the 1935 version of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" I've nixed that in lieu of the 1999 version starring Michelle Phiefer, Kevin Kline, Calista Flockhart, Rupert Murdock & Stanley Tucci.

Work is continuing for  fund raising for these programs so any assistance is most welcomed.

Material for this program of "Scenes & Music" can be any text from Shakespeare, including the sonnets or songs.

We've discussed the possibility that Micheal Dutka & friends
may present scenes from his new Opera based on
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Those of you who have presented at previous performances
are welcome to use the same material.

Script in hand is acceptable, but we ask that you be familiar enough with the material
not to struggle with reading.

We may also continue with "Spontaneous Shakespeare" for one of the performances.

Assistance is most welcome in all areas.

Meeting at the stage in Tamanend Park, Sat/Sun 2-4 pm weather permitting.

Please note that we are having trouble with people vandalizing the stage,
your assistance with this would be most appreciated.

I have initiated a fund raising effort using PayPal.
The goal is to raise sufficient funds for the proper registration of
The Shakespeareans of Tamanend Park.
This will allow us to receive grant money which has been offered to us.

We've created a wonderful and unique open-air performance space in Tamanend Park.

It is incumbent upon members in the community who care about having an active theatre available to them, to assist with the details of presenting material by helping with logistics, performance, and financing the needs of doing this work.

I consider it my duty to maintain the stage, to continue to develop the facilities, to gather supplies, to develop programs and to continue to encourage participation.

The success of any programs in the Park will depend upon people working together to make it happen and maintain those activities.

It is important that persons wishing to participate take the initiative

and take advantage of the opportunity that has been given to the community.
Without this participation the stage will not remain in the park.

Here a few pictures of the movie screen set up for
"Cinema Under the Stars"

We also have a PA system
for the sound support.

Jennifer is sitting on one of the speakers
in the photo above.

We ran a test last fall using a DVD projector and it worked fantastically.

We now need to have the proper
Illumination on the trails after dark

We have established two performance time frames in the fall and in the spring.

We also have the Southampton Day Parade
as another event.

Other performance times are possible
depending on the need and desire.


The schedule of Saturday & Sunday has been established as a time when people of like mind
can associate, develop friendships in doing theatre together, and discuss the possibilities.
