The Fête Society goes to Shakespeare in the Park
The Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis is one of the nation's best Shakespeare companies. This year's play is the "Merry Wives of Windsor" - a play about the love pursuits, plots, and miss-steps of a wanna-be ladies’ man. It would rival any of today's soap opera's plots.
Join us on the grassy knoll (and we'll pray there will be no rain) for a lovely evening to enjoy the complete 3 act play.
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, food, beverages, and good company.
Green show starts at 6:30 (the cliff's notes version of the play for kids and adults with ADHD)
Performance begins at 8:00
