Last Day of Summer

A theater company in our town was performing "The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Abridged". 

For free. 

I happen to love this play, and was delighted for an excuse for a other/daughter/sister date. It was such a fun night.

We began by shopping at a local department store with a $10 coupon off a $10 purchase. (Who would skip out on that deal? Not I.)  We had a great time hunting for the perfect purchase. We also were distracted by the rows of dress-up clothes (don't hats, scarves, and sunglasses just beg to be tried on?).






We also happened to have coupons for free hand-scooped milk shakes from Mighty Fine, which also happened to be next door to our department store. What luck!

With lovely milk shakes in tow, we headed to the public park for the play. It was delightful. Sarah's favorite part was when the costumed Ophelia ran into the crowd and pretended to vomit all over her.

Twice. (I think the actor loved her reaction so much he just couldn't resist singling her out again.)

She was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. She loved it. What a great introduction to Shakespeare!
