Event Progress Report 2

I've just been poking around on the SF Shakespeare in the Park website to get some of the basic info. It's all new to me, despite the fact that I've been living here for a year. Basically, the free Shakespeare in the Park events go from July to September (though this season is already done) and entertain approximately 50,000 people. have attached a few shots of the Sf website which, like the NYC version, is not very exciting at all. It looks like an afterthought. 

I have emailed my contact at the Presidio Trust and am expecting to hear back from him sometime early this week. I'm hoping to get some information that I haven't already found elsewhere. I am expecting him to be very willing to provide me with information since I am helping to promote his event as a volunteer. 



from the Sf website:
"Free Shakespeare in the Park began in 1983, with its debut production of The Tempest in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It is now one of the major free Shakespeare programs in the nation. Produced every year in San Francisco, Oakland, Pleasanton, Cupertino, and San Mateo from July through September, Free Shakespeare in the Park provides an opportunity for everyone to see high quality, professional theater free of charge."
