BAREFOOT SHAKESPEARE COMPANY PRESENTS
ALL ONE FOREST
By: Joe Raik
Directed by Phoebe Brooks
Performing June 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th.
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.
Three young women from different places and times all cross paths in the forest. Before the day is out they will have to contend with the elements, with each other, and with a whole Faery Kingdom. One thing is certain: this is no ordinary forest.
CYMBELINE
By: William Shakespeare
Directed by Emily Gallagher
Performing August 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, September 1st, 2nd.
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.
It is 2018 and our country is in crisis: alienated, insular, and divided. In an attempt to preserve tradition, Cymbeline, pressured by his self-serving wife, arranges for his daughter and heir, Imogen, to be married off to a privileged, arrogant example of male toxicity. Her refusal and subsequent foray into the forest in disguise begins a journey fraught with danger, power, and jealousy. Will she persist?

In order to achieve the goal of sustainable smart cities, strong collaborations in research and technology are critical. For this reason, six German urban research networks are building partnerships in the US to develop innovative solutions and joint projects for resource-efficient and climate-adapted cities of the future. The GCRI is inviting American researchers, urban planners, architects, decision-makers, municipal authorities and representatives from the private sector to participate and share their ideas to build the cities of tomorrow.
