Greetings

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Whether you are here by accident or design, we are so glad you made it. This is the production blog for the Marshall Area Stage Company's production of The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare.

Since inaugurating the Shakespeare in the park program with 2002' s production of Twelfth Night MASC has performed a free production of one of Shakespeare's plays every year. (Well, okay, every year but one.) Performances take place in the band shell at Marshall's beautiful Liberty park. The dates for this year's show are 7:00PM on August 21 and 22 and 2:00pm on August 23rd.

For the past five years it has been my privilege to direct the Shakespeare in the park production and I have come to look forward to this time of year as "Shakespeare Season." Hopefully this blog will serve as a kind of behind the scenes peek at what goes into one of these productions and will help you appreciate the performances even more. I will have information on the play, preproduction photos, and maybe, the odd surprise along the way. I also hope to have other members of the creative team of men and women who will put this story up on its feet drop by and give you their perspectives on this undertaking.

So, thanks again for joining us! We love performing and we look forward to seeing you at Liberty Park in August! Come and join us for some play!
