Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Shakespeare In the Park

In the city, in the dark,
Shakespeare thrives in Central Park.
Tix are given out for free,
By lining up or lottery.

Noises sometimes interfere
But all your problems disappear
When roles, comedic and/or tragic,
Are performed as if by magic.

Every time I get to go
I marvel at my luck, although
The opportunity is there
For all with time and pluck to spare.

Gershon Wolf May 26, 2019 at 7:21 PM Nothing better in theater -- nothing -- than Shakespeare (if done well) in the park. A true delight! Thanks for sharing. :) gw

Jan Allison May 23, 2019 at 3:17 PM I confess that I've never been a fan of the bard but I'd be tempted by free tickets lol:-) so glad you enjoyed the performance, which play were they performing? hugs jan x Ilene Bauer May 23, 2019 at 3:27 PM "Much Ado about Nothing." It was a fun production...
