The Company will open The Saratogian’s private lot for public parking on Saturday, June 15, from 11 a.m. to midnight.
The lot, located at Maple Avenue and Caroline Street, has its entrance on Pavilion Row. For only a $10 donation, drivers can park in the lot and help support Saratoga Shakespeare Company. The donation is payable by cash, check, or credit card. Additional tax-deductible donations to Saratoga Shakespeare Company will be gratefully accepted as well.
The parking event is part of The Saratogian’s Parking for Nonprofits Program. All proceeds will support Saratoga Shakespeare’s free 2013 production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, which will run in Congress Park, on the Alfred Z. Solomon Stage, July 16-28. The only comedy Shakespeare set in England, the play celebrates the glories of the English tongue and the clever resourcefulness of two Windsor wives, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, in outwitting Sir John Falstaff, who has designs upon both women. According to legend, Queen Elizabeth commissioned Shakespeare to write it to show the rascally Falstaff in love. Saratoga Shakespeare favorite David M. Girard will direct the production.
