Rain, Rain, Stay Away, We're Here to See a Play.

        Despite the threat of rain throughout one of the most inclement Memorial Day Weekends in memory, over 200 theater lovers braved the elements to enjoy performances of "As You Like It" presented by Shakespeare in the Parque's Neighborhood Arts Initiative.  "As You Like It" is the third free full-length presentation by this community-minded theater troupe. 
        Shakespeare in the Parque was founded by Susan Schulman and Megan Owens to bring classical theater to underserved audiences.  The group's first production was A Midsummer Night's Dream, presented on the lawn at Ft. Ward Park, and performed in both English and Spanish.
