Curtain Up

by Donnie Quigley

Cooler temps, football, and the new theatrical season! Things are starting to get exciting! I hope you had a summer filled with family, friends and fun and are ready for the fall ahead. If you missed Shakespeare by the Sea watching King Lear, while enjoying a picnic and the ocean breeze, well, maybe next year. It was a wonderful performance and the venue can’t be beat. The upcoming theatre season with lots of comedy, drama and musicals is coming up fast. Tickets are now being sold in every venue as singles or you can purchase the whole season. I will give you a rundown of the season offerings and the websites for purchase or to find more information.
