HIP TO HIP THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
SHAKESPEARE'S TAMING OF THE SHREW
Directed by Elizabeth Carlson

Thursday, August 26, at 7:30 p.m.
Admission Free

Hip to Hip has been performing Shakespeare’s plays in parks through Queens. This season they come into our garden with their production of Taming of the Shrew. The quintessential battle of the sexes—this send-up of the institution of marriage, the rifts between men and women and the rough journey toward love is full of disguise, deception and devilment.

 


OLD-FASHIONED SUNDAY AFTERNOON
with harpist Maria Banks

September 12th Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

We’ve planned a truly old-fashioned Sunday to delight in the late summer garden. Enjoy the music of Maria Banks, harpist who will perform a selection of works from the classical to romantic. The performance is followed by a special lawn tea service.

As a soloist and a member of various ensembles, Banks has toured internationally and throughout the United States. Her musical repertoire ranges from classical to popular and jazz and includes original arrangements and compositions.

General Admission $20, Members $18
Reservations recommended.
