I was so excited to see Rivers Cuomo at the show last week I forgot to put on my trousers! What a lovely gent he is and quite the dapper dresser.

We started rehearsing As You Like It last week. Only three and bit weeks before we will be in front of an audience!

But we still have a way to go to make ends meet and pay for the whole thing. A friendly audience member has offered a $10,000 challenge match this week - please help us make it! See comments below...

Thank you to everyone that has stepped up to help so far! Our 20th year of Shakespeare in the Park in LA is going to be quite a departure from previous seasons: a one hour immersive prologue before the show; the audience seated in the round; the largest cast we've had in years and we finally get to use those cages from the Old Zoo!

It's all admission free but it will be a challenge to make sure we can pay all the bills this year. Please check the first comment and see how you can help!

20 years! We start rehearsals on Tuesday but times are tough in LA and it is proving quite hard this year to pull together the necessary $$$ to pay all the actors, crew and staff to put the festival. Check out the first comment to see how you can help.
