Although we all think we got a few gray hairs during the course of the evening, the unexpected audience involvement was a delightful addition to the production. Thanks, Heather!

First thing I'd have to say is that despite the obvious unexpected events, the actors handled themselves very well (in fact, I might dare to guess the lights going out added to the comic effect and I shall like to go back on a normal night and see whether it could be any funnier). I also ended up one of the front row audience members to become an impromptu follow-spot when I was handed a flashlight and asked to aim it at the actors on stage. With so many cross beamed lights pointed at them, I hope the actors did not suffer from 'stars' in their eyes for too long afterward. Overall, I would have to say that this performance of Summer Shakespeare has been by far one of the most memorable, and personally, one of my absolute favorite performances that I have ever had the pleasure of attending.
