SHANDAKEN CALENDAR
The fantastic Mettawee River Theatre Company returns to The Gould Church Lawn in Roxbury for the twenty-third year on Wednesday, July 18 at 8 pm. Presented by The Roxbury Arts Group, the company will perform its new production of the classic comic romp, Peace written in the 5th century BC by Aristophanes the Greek playwright regarded as the “Father of Comedy.” With its timeless and timely subject, and the ever-magical and amazing masks and puppets by Ralph Lee the play will be performed out of doors. Rain venue RAG. Bring chairs and/blankets. Suggested donation: $8 adults, $5 children.
(607) 326-7908 for information. PEACE was written in 421 B.C. to celebrate a brief respite from the war that plagued Greece throughout most of Aristophanes’ lifetime. It is about a feisty man who flies to Mount Olympus to complain to the gods about the situation on earth. The production will feature an original musical score composed by Neal Kirkwood... see this troupe; they’re a national treasure...
