Theatre and Then Some

This weekend offers a multiplicity of theater events throughout the Inland Empire. I am probably missing many that were not brought to my attention. Just click on comment if you know of others and I can post the information.

The 2008 Season of the Redlands Shakespeare Festival began yesterday evening and will continue through May 25. Performances are at 8p.m. at the Redlands Bowl in Smiley Park. The performance this evening will be Macbeth and Saturday will be Antony and Cleopatra and Sunday will be Twelfth Night.

And don't forget that Sunday is Mother's Day and you might want to make reservations for your favorite eatery. Mothers always like to be treated to a meal they did not have to prepare! The Inland Empire has a wonderful selection of restaurant choices.
