Globe Theatre Grand Opening

Globe Theatre Grand Opening
Renaissance Island (204, 45, 27).
Sunday, July 22, 2007
1 PM-6PM
.
The original Globe Theatre opened a few years back in the Autumn of 1599 in Southwark on the River Thames. Join our scholar and builder as they discuss the history of this remarkable Elizabethan theatre.
.
There will be two discussions/Q & A sessions, fireworks, and a dance, too! Not to worry--William Prynne will not be reading from his loathsome Histriomastix against theatre and dancing. Do feel free to wear your favorite Renaissance/Tudor period attire! (Visitors will find free attire in the welcome center located at 69, 183, 150).
.
Here is the schedule:
.
1-2PM Discussion by Dolgoruky Umarov (in RL Dolgo has a PhD in English and Theatre Arts and has performed in 4 major Shakespearean roles; he has also researched the Globe Theatre extensively). Dolgo will be joined by Globe builder extraordinaire Charlene Trudeau. A Q & A Session will follow.
.
2-5PM Globe(al) Dance Party with Fireworks around 3.
.
5-6PM Dolgoruky and Charlene will repeat their earlier program
.
