The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is currently performing two plays, The Tempest, and The Comedy of Errors. Both are showing at the historic ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute over the next two weeks.

Last summer, I went to their performance of As You Like It, also playing at the ruins, and it was an absolutely delightful night. The stage is perfect for a locally performed classic play. We took lawn chairs, a picnic dinner, and a bottle of wine. We ran into a few other people we knew there, and pulled our chairs over to theirs so we could exchange thoughts during intermission. It may not compare to going to Stratford, but in a way, this is even better with free parking, no dress code, and a cool historic setting.

The Tempest just happens to be one of my favorite plays, and I've never actually seen The Comedy of Errors before. So, I plan to attend both shows, on July 11th and 12th. Who wants to go along?

Buy your tickets online at the chesapeakeshakespeare.com and let me know if you are going to either or both! (It's a little cheaper if you want to go to both shows.)
