Longtime supporters of Shakespeare in Paradise may remember a time when we used to hold Festival Bars—evenings where cast and audience could gather after a performance at a local night spot. We’re pleased to announce that we’re bringing the Festival Bar back! Every Friday night during the festival, we’re going to be setting up on the brand-new Treehouse Deck to bring back the tradition. We’re partnering with the Black Box Open Mic to showcase some of their regular  performers, and food and drinks will be available to purchase. Come with some extra cash to help support the artists—there’s no cover charge but we will pass the hat for them—and we’ll also be accepting contributions to help the Dundas finish the renovations to the Winston V. Saunders Theatre! When: Festival Fridays 9-midnight (September 26, October 3, October 10) Where: Treehouse Deck Also Coming Soon: Dundas Day of Play Watch this space!!
