Opening Night Tales

Freeport Shakespeare Festival opened its inaugural season on August 3rd at 7:00 p.m. With over 500 people in attendance on a beautiful, breezy summer evening, the setting could not have been more perfect.

Rita Armstrong made touching welcoming remarks thanking everyone who helped to make the festival a success. Bath Savings Institution provided volunteer ushers and t-shirt sales persons.

The recorder ensemble AcouSticks entertained festival goers as they arrived. The Greater Freeport Community Chorus provided a georgeous pre-show concert that fed into the prologue of The Tempest.

At 7:35, the Tempest was underway and two hours later, dissolved into thin air. We truly are such stuff as dreams are made on.

Thank you.
