It is still not too catch William Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ – the play famous for the line “all the world’s a stage” – and it is on stage ever Tuesday through Sunday, beginning each evening at 7:30 p.m. and running right through to Sunday August 14.
The play is the second and last, following ‘The Merchant of Venice’ this past month, for a theatre group that is celebrating its 36th season and it is free, except for a few minutes during intermission when you can voluntarily donate a few dollars or more to the actors coming up through the audience with donation baskets.
You may be pleased to donate a little when you experience the high quality of these productions, performed by casts that have among them actors with years of professional experience on the stage.
You can find the stage for Shakepeare in Deleware Park in a patch of the park south of big pond in the park and just east of Elmwood Avenue and the back of the Albright Knox Art Gallery. If you get a little lost, ask anyone walking near the park and they will show you the way.
It begins with the sun setting in the west erly skies behind you and ends with reflections of the moon and stars on the waters a nearby pond in Buffalo, New York’s beautiful Delaware Park.
