Catch This: Much Ado in the Park

I'm planning on checking out Seattle Shakespeare Company's Wooden O production of Much Ado About Nothing tonight at Luther Burbank Park Amphitheatre in Mercer Island. It's directed by Sheila Daniels, and actors (and real-life married couple) Hans Altwies and Amy Thone (above) just seem like they'd be an irresistible Benedick and Beatrice.

Meet me there. And, though the performance is free, bring some pocket change for when they pass the hat.

Othello is also on this summer's docket for the best outdoor Shakespeare. And the shows are travelling to parks all over: in Redmond, Edmonds, Des Moines and more through August 1.

Wooden O performance schedule is available on the Seattle Shakespeare Co. Web site.
