Extension Programming
Orfeo Group is planning an ambitious series of programming as an extension of its production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). Beginning at 6PM before every performance, Orfeo Group will present a Prelude during which local actors, directors, playwrights and arts groups will showcase their work. Fridays will feature improvisational performances by Improv Boston, and Saturdays will feature children's programming provided by Stoneham Theatre's Kids4Kids, Rebel Shakespeare and others. The extension programming will culminate in an all day FREE festival in the park on Sunday July 26th beginning with a Kids4Kids production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at 10AM. The festival will include performances by local musicians and dance troupes, exhibitions by local arts collectives, and a Shakespeare Talk on The Music of the Spheres by Orfeo friend, Bill Barclay. We hope that this community building exercise will not only add value to our patrons' experience, but that it will serve as a forum for collaboration and communication between artists of various media. Orfeo Group believes in the power of engaging communication, and the programs we are organizing this summer are squarely aimed at stimulating and inspiring compassion and creativity. Please check the calendar for more information. If you have further questions or want to get involved, please email Risher Reddick at risher@orfeogroup.org. See you in the park!
