It was my introduction to your superior summer sessions. I attend each year that I can (but unfortunately, had out of town meetings for each performance last year). Keep up the great work.

The whole production was high energy, but the curtain call with unexpected Polaroid photos of the cast AND the audience was the cherry on top! As I recall we ended up with one of the photos that was given away too. One of my favorite Summer Shakespeare memories is from the last time you did Two Gentlemen of Verona (1998).

I have also had the privilege to see Comedy of Errors (‘05), Love’s Labor’s Lost (‘06), Midsummer Night’s Dream (‘07), Tempest (‘08)--all of which have been a delight to watch and a highlight of the summer. It is always a pleasure to see what hilarious twist away from traditional design has been sprinkled throughout the production. And yes, I did get a lime green AYLI t-shirt as well as a Shakespeare bobblehead.

It's become part of our summer tradition to invite friends and make an evening of it, gathering for ice cream afterwards. Our boys still talk about the woodsman with the leaf blower from "As You Like It" (I think). We’ve been attending since the revival in 2004 when our boys were 5,6,7, and 9.
