The Tempest: Shakespeare On the STEPS

This FRIDAY!! (as in, tomorrow) at 6:30PM will be the one-and-only performance of this summer's day camp on the front steps of the Church.

For the last 2 weeks a troupe of young performers, aged 7-12 have been practicing a number of theatrical exercises, and learning their lines to present an abridged version of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

The Shakespeare on the STEPS camp will also be hosting this week's garden party and reception.

Come early, you'll want to get a good seat!
