Hello!

I hope everyone likes the new layout of the blog. It was interesting getting all of the bits and pieces together. Coding can be so fun and so frustrating without Global Head overrides! I hope everyone has their tickets ready for the first ever Young Professionals Event! This Wednesday night is when we're all going to be meeting out at the Brew Pub for dinner at 5:30 then coming to the theatre to see Over the Tavern. Everyone has been raving about this show. It has to be one of the funniest plays I've seen lately and the family reminds me of home. They really know how to put the fun in dysfunctional in this play with Rudy's helpful questioning. So come out and meet us for dinner and a play. You can even get your tickets at the door that night if you're like me and tend to forget till the last minute.

Also, for the college aged people in our midst, we have a new, hopefully recurring, program aimed at bringing the fun of the theatre to you! I'm putting together a College Tour with the local colleges so in a couple of weeks you could be seeing me at your school! Then, on April 24th, we're having a special after-party after a showing of Romeo and Juliet. The play begins at 7:30 with food provided by Eastside Grille and entertainment by Clint Darby of the Clint and Kip duo. You do have to come see the show to be at the after-party so hurry up and get your tickets because this is going to be one night you don't want to miss!

As always, if you need to know anything more or want to grab the good seats before anyone else, then call the box office at 334-271-5353 or check us out on the web at www.asf.net.

See you there!

Hi! For those of you who have been reading the blog, Jessica Skarda has been your faithful editor for these past few months. In fact, she's the one who created this blog to begin with to connect our audiences with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in a way that goes beyond just attending the plays (which we highly encourage!) to a level where they feel that they belong to the ASF family (which you do!). It's with a bit of sadness and alot of excitement that we here at ASF bid adieu to Jessica as she starts her new world travels in Europe and China.

So that naturally leads us to an introduction.

I'm Abby Bryson, the new editor, and I'm here to continue bringing you information and behind the scenes coverage about all the activity that goes on here at ASF. If you've been watching the blog then you're already acquainted with some of what I do. I've been filming and editing all the podcasts that make their way onto the web.

Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to remind everyone that we've got a great event coming up! The first Young Professionals event on April 2nd will begin at The Brew Pub at 5:30 with dinner being $10-25 and then the show, Over the Tavern, will begin at 7:30 with tickets being a discounted $26.00. If you fall between the ages of 25-45, grab a friend and come out and see this great show with many of the other professionals from the area.

And let me say what a pleasure it is to meet all of you. The blog may go through a bit of a face lift soon so bookmark the page and keep checking back for your connection to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Leave a comment with a question or email me at abryson@asf.net for more information on the blog, podcasts, or shows we have coming up.
