_____ From: pittsburgh shakespeare [mailto:pittsburghshakespeare@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2017 12:53 PM Subject: Fwd: Pittsburgh Shakespeare offers HENRY V weekends September 2017 Hello, Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks will be performing HENRY V on Reservoir Drive in Highland Park (just across from the Super Playground) on Sat Sept 9 and Sun Sept 10 at 2 pm. The press release is below. Jennifer Tober 917.628.5020 HENRY V September weekends Facebook: Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks pittsburghshakespeare.org For immediate release Contact: Jennifer Tober, Artistic Director jtober(a)pittsburghshakespeare.org 412.404.8531 917.628.5020 cell Yvonne Hudson New Place Collaborations new.place.collaborations.(a)gmail.com <http://gmail.com/> 412.512.0589 PITTSBURGH SHAKESPEARE OFFERS HENRY V in city parks in September 2017 Now in its 13th season, PITTSBURGH SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARKS will offer the stirring, magnificent history play HENRY V, directed by local favorite, professional storyteller and longtime PSIP member ALAN IRVINE each weekend in September 2017. "We've managed to shirk the History plays for 13 years, and we're due for one!.Alan (Irvine) had been clamoring to direct HENRY V for a while, and we decided that this year in particular, politically speaking, would be an apropos time to offer a Shakespeare piece that deals with political intrigue and the making of a great ruler, and nations vying to dominate one another, all the while showing a glimpse into the deeply personal motivations and aspirations of rulers and the pressures they face," says PSIP Artistic Director Jennifer Tober. Following on the heels of the hugely successful COMEDY OF ERRORS last year, HENRY will expose PSIP audiences to the story of the growth of "Prince HAL" and his struggle to leave behind his boyhood impetuousness and rise to the occasion of leading England in victory over France in the famed Battle of Agincourt. Director Alan Irvine's production will use 8 actors, with all except the title role doubling, tripling, and in some cases, quadrupling, and in keeping with the PSIP vein, blur the line between action and audience as the audience becomes a character in itself, playing the roles of the court - the nobles, ladies, servants; becoming the English and French armies; helping fire up HENRY and his soldiers on in the famed St. Crispin's speech. Longtime PSIP collaborator LISA LEIBERING will serve as Production and Costume designer (Comedy of Errors, Supernatural Shakespeare, King Lear, As You Like It, Romeo & Juliet) The cast includes Lamar Cheston, a New York City native who has appeared Off-Broadway in Angels Over Tuskegee, with Pittsburgh Playwrights (Hercules Didn't Wade in the Water) and Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre (Oedipus Rex) as HENRY; Stoney Richards (Pistol and Exeter), known for being a radio personality at CBS (WDSY-FM and KDKA) and appearing in many films and tv shows as well as Off-Broadway and locally in Pittsburgh; local favorites Tonya R. Lynn as the bawdy and big-hearted Mistress Quickly and Nick Benninger as Gower and French Maid Alice. Rounding out the cast are Amy Dick, Ryan Bergman, Bob Colbert, Sarah Carleton; as well as a company of young local actors playing the "Soldiers Company." As always, audience is encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets and a picnic. All ages. All shows are FREE with donations encouraged. The schedule is as follows: Saturdays and Sundays though September - all shows at 2 PM Sept. 2 and 3 - Frick Park, Blue Slide playground, Beechwood Blvd. and Nicholson St, Squirrel Hill Sept. 9 and 10 - Highland Park, across from the Super Playground, Reservoir Drive Sept. 16 and 17 - Arsenal Park, 40th Street between Penn and Butler Streets Sept. 23 and 24 - Frick Park, Blue Slide playground, Beechwood Blvd. and Nicholson St, Squirrel Hill PSIP will celebrate the run of HENRY V with its first fundraising dinner party at MAD MEX Shadyside (220 S. Highland Ave) on Tuesday, September 26th with all proceeds going to support PSIP's mission of free Shakespeare for all Pittsburghers. Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks was founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Jennifer Tober and has offered FREE Shakespeare productions to thousands of Pittsbughers since its inception.

Cat
by Eileen Damico 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Does this car look familiar to anyone? It's trying to get into my house on Callowhill and won't go away. I'm really really afraid of cats (I know, it's crazy phobia but I'm not going to change at this old age!!) It is being very aggressive trying to get in my door. If anyone is missing a cat, it's hanging out near 5630 Callowhill. I'd appreciate it not being on my porch and scaring the heck out of me when I open my door. Thanks. Eileen (aka the evil cat hater!) PS. Just an FYI, I would never ever harm a cat. Heck, I'd never get that close to one! I'm just really freakishly afraid of them. Sent from my rotary home phone

Missing Cart on Heberton st.?
by shannon deferrari 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi neighbors, This morning I placed a baby stroller that I use as a cart to transport some of my Photography equipment on the side walk in front of my home on Heberton St between Jackson and Stanton. It was outside for 10 minutes or so while I was getting things ready to go and when I came out it was gone. It had a tripod, a step ladder and a reflector in it. I looked around to see if i for got to put the breaks on, but could not find it anywhere. I'm not sure if someone thought I was throwing it out or if it was taken but I would love to have it back. If you know anything please contact me Thank you in advance! Shannon D 412-260-0414 Text is fine

GIrl Scout Troop collecting used working brass/reed instruments for schools in Houston AND as good as new fiction/non-fiction books for Pre-K - Grade 12
by Joan Soulliere 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Dear Neighbors, I follow a Facebook page for Girl Scout Leaders and a request has come through for a variety of school based items. Since I'm incapable of playing a musical instrument, I never thought about it, but complete instrumental collections have been destroyed. My girls in Troop 54281 are interested in packing and mailing to Houston your used and still working brass or reed instruments. I selected those because they most likely won't break or be too large to ship. Also, the classroom and school libraries have been decimated. If you have new or as good as new fiction or non-fiction books (easy and early readers are especially important), the Girl Scouts will also collect and mail those. Please no textbooks, magazines, videos, CDs, Science non-fiction books should not be more than three years old. We don't want to be sending books containing incorrect or dated information. I will collect your emails and get back to you about a pick-up/drop-off date. I think it will be in about 3 weeks. Thank you very much and thank you for recycling your materials for use in Houston! Joan Soulliere Farragut Street
