Shakespeare in a Park

This is one of those "here's a great thing I found in Baltimore and I think they deserve a 'shout-out'" sort of posts:


Right now they are doing Twelfth Night at "the meadow at Evergreen house."  I'd never even been to Evergreen House, it's conveniently hidden between Loyola College and the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and inexplicably owned by JHU.  You should go catch this play or their next one (The Taming of the Shrew, July 18 - August).  The acting was fantastic and you couldn't ask for a more relaxing environment.  The play starts at 8 pm, as the sun is setting, you're far enough off the road that you can't hear any traffic, there's a small brook at the edge of the meadow, it's just awesome.  

We got there at 7:45 and were about the last people to show up.  Apparently everyone else knew that you're supposed to bring some wine and a picnic dinner... I'm totally doing that next time!  And, in case you forgot your wine or beer, it's available from the concession stand!

This is one definitely falls in the "Pro" category when you're considering living in Baltimore.
