The end of an era, one in which the play was the thing. Until it wasn’t.

Those of you who enjoyed this season of Shakespeare Santa Cruz performances in the atmospheric Festival Glen, also enjoyed the final season of this 32-year cycle of lively, innovative, often charming, always literate plays.

Perhaps its day was done, but when it was good it was very very good.

Thank you Audrey!
