SMITH STREET STAGE FUND RAISER FOR SHAKESPEARE IN CARROLL PARK 

Sunday, February 17

Fresh off the success of their terrific production of A Christmas Carol, we couldn't be more pleased that our talented friends at Smith Street Stage are planning another open air run of Willie the Shakes in Carroll Park this summer! To help fund their Shakespeare-ing, they're paying tribute to another lyrical legend, Bruce Springsteen. The Bard and The Boss meet at NYC's The Living Room!
