Hi, The mid- to upper-80s are here to stay - at least for a while. Stay cool out there and get your activities in early and
late in the day to avoid the higher temperatures. It is bright and sunny out there. Farmers Market Thursday! That's right, tomorrow and
every Thursday, from 4 to 7 at Rush Park we have the Rossmoor Certified Farmers Market. There's such a great selection of vendors at the market. And there are some great neighbors to mingle at the market with - how can you go wrong? Hope to see you there!

Hamlet @ Rush Park Saturday 7/15 |

Here's a small step into the world of William Shakespeare... To be or not to be..... is about all many people know about Shakespeare (and
Hamlet).
We'll try to fill in more details - consider it a really novice version or "director's cut" extra -- like details about his Globe theater, and how it continues to
influence theater today.
Feel free to start talking in the comments below -- many of ya know more than we do (the angst and religious symbolisms, the use of iambic pentameter to drive the
action.....huh?) - and yes, we'll tie the characters together with the times, with you.

The Twelfth Night - Shakespeare at Rush Park Sunday 7/16 |
|
|
This is so
fun. Shakespeare is the master of complicated relationships, twists and turns. Here is the gist of this romantic comedy (courtesy of Folger Shakespeare Library on Capitol Hill): Named for the twelfth night after Christmas, the
end of the Christmas season, Twelfth Night plays with love and power. The Countess Olivia, a woman with her own household, attracts Duke (or Count) Orsino. Two other would-be suitors are her pretentious steward, Malvolio, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Onto this scene arrive the twins Viola and
Sebastian; caught in a shipwreck, each thinks the other has drowned. Viola disguises herself as a male page and enters Orsino’s service. Orsino sends her as his envoy to Olivia—only to have Olivia fall in love with the messenger. The play complicates, then wonderfully untangles, these relationships. If you are a person who is already hooked, google
the Folger Shakespeare Library & Twelfth Night, where they expand the synopsis, and deep-dive the entire play.
