I do not know how many summer theaters there are throughout the country. I do know that St. Louis is blessed with a gem.
Early in June, I attended a production of Shakespeare's Othello. It was held in the City's free, professional summer theater situated in a Glen beneath the graceful Art Museum Fountains in Forest Park.
The acting was richly complimented by imaginative staging,lighting and excellent audio. In addition to the main stage, jugglers, fire eaters, and musicians roamed the grounds. Small tented stages carried quick time quotes and Shakespearean acts of lure. Everywhere, people on blankets enjoyed simple and gourmet-like picnics.
Othello may seem less dark when staged under star light but it still asks us to examine our attitude about others while recognizing the harm rogues can do to the purest of heart.
