More about the Bard and summer.....

Yes, this summer activity thing just keeps dragging on. As if you don't all have jobs and vacations planned that will take up your time. Well, here's one more option if you're interested in Shakespeare al fresco: Ithaca Shakespeare Co. is doing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "As You Like It" in repertory July 7 to 24. They perform at Cornell Plantations, which is basically a sprawling garden and arboretum on the Cornell campus.  Get details at http://www.ithacashakespeare.org/. This one's not exactly free, as a $10 donation is suggested. It's probably well worth the cost, though, and Ithaca is always a hoot.
