When we got out of the car, I heard "Hey, Countess!" and there were Stephanie, Andrew, and Tim from the Berkshire Theatre Festival. They carried a picnic to enjoy on the lawn.




When Garrison Keillor started the show, he walked off the stage and out of the Shed to the lawn. He couldn't stop exclaiming about all the food, wine, and other beverages everyone had. I'm sorry to say that all my pictures of the performers came out too blurry to print but here is one of the set.


And here is a picture of Garrison Keillor from the Prairie Home Companion website...





The show was very entertaining. Most people have listened to the Prairie Home Companion broadcasts at one time or another; or seen the movie with Meryl Street and Lily Tomlin. You can listen to some of the music and hear Donald Hall, Poet Laureate of the United States, read some of his poetry on their web site.



After the show we stopped in at Firefly in Lenox for a drink. Justina was tending bar that night.




Then it was off to the Shakespeare & Co. Gala just in time for dessert. The Countess met up with John Douglas Thompson who was in the production of Antony and Cleopatra I had seen in New York City a few months ago. He played Enobarbus and was fantastic in that role. He will soon be seen as Othello at Shakespeare & Co. Be sure you get tickets. He will be amazing as Othello!!

John Douglas Thompson, The Countess, LeRoy McClain

LeRoy McClain will also be performing in Othello. I met LeRoy last year and he told me he would be the "next Broadway star". I believe him. You should too!!!



Next stop for last call was.......Rumpy's Tavern, of course. We descended on Prince Troy with half the Shakespeare & Co. gala following! It was a full house...




Matthew and Arthur were there but I'm not too sure what Michael Allen Lowe is doing?!?






Steve is waving to the crowd, I think!






But Brianne and The Countess were still looking fine!
