Polo Tournament to Benefit Shakespeare on Clark

This year the Shakespeare on Clark presentation is The Taming of the Shrew. For years the Shakespeare on Clark organization has brought plays to Clark Island in Batavia. It's a wonderful night out. You bring your lawn chairs, some food and drink and watch real actors perform Shakespeare in a beautiful setting. Attend the polo tournament on July 22nd to help fund the Shakespeare on Clark organization - so they can continue to provide some free entertainment to the residents of the Fox Valley.

Batavia's Donna Latham THREE BY THE SEA

Playing at the Geneva Underground Playhouse - 524 W. State St., Geneva, Illinois - Performances: September 7-23, 2012 - Fridays and Saturdays 7pm, Sundays 3pm


Surfer dudes, pirates, and mermaids, oh, my! Three by the Sea is a comedy that features an ensemble cast playing a variety of roles.

Synopsis: Buccaneer Bochephus Q. Fizziwater introduces three sea yarns, “Paddy and the Mermaid,”“Coyote’s Moon,” and “Foghorn Franny.” Franny's heroic actions at sea bring the tales full circle.

Three by the Sea world-premiered at the Looking Glass Theatre in Manhattan. Local playwright Donna Latham is thrilled its Midwest premiere will be at the Geneva Underground Playhouse, which she lovingly calls her "home theatre." Donna is an award-winning author and playwright whose plays have been produced off-off-Broadway, in San Francisco, and around the country. Her newest books for kids are Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering and Backyard Biology.
