Congratulations to Independent Shakespeare Co. It’s the final week of their summer season! Their last performances are this Wednesday through Sunday at 7 PM in LA’s Griffith Park. Broadway World says the production of “As You Like It” gives “joy throughout. … the music is sweet, the players skilled and the setting is bucolic … it’s a winner.” Admission is free and open to the public. We’re proud to support Independent Shakespeare Co. and to shine a light on their mission to bring Los Angeles together through exuberant, surprising productions of classical plays as well as new works.
