Thank You

A very belated, and extremely grateful thank you to everyone who traveled to, created in, and generally celebrated the gardens this summer!

A special thank you to the following people:

Brian Andrich

Kristin Ligocki
Erica Packard

Members of the Gardens

I hope to do something like this again next year. Until then, check out my website for photos from the shows - www.lillianmeredith.com – and please take the time to visit and contribute to your local community garden!

Because of the excruciating heat, the afternoon performance of Lucy Gillespie’s Steering has been canceled. All other shows will continue as planned.

SO please join us either tonight or tomorrow!

Tonight, Saturday July 23rd, at 6pm
(when the whole garden is shaded!)

West 104th Street Garden
Between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West

Stay cool!

A few things to know for this weekend’s performance:

Prepare for heat and humidity!
There is a heat advisory in effect for this weekend,
so please bring water and don sunscreen/wide brimmed hat.

Wear comfortable shoes – you will be in a garden, after all.

Seats will be available for those who require them, but otherwise
the audience should expect to stand for approximately 20 minutes.

Consider bug spray (but please, no DEET!).

The show runs between 15 and 20 minutes.

The garden is on West 104th Street between Manhattan Avenue and Central Park West.
The closest subway is the 103rd street stop on the B/C or 1.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early. No tickets are required.

Steering

Lucy Gillespie’s play Steering will go up July 22nd at 6pm, and July 23rd and 24th at 3pm and 6pm at West 104th Street Garden between Manhattan Avenue and Central Park West.

The Final Play

I was so pleased with Jason Platt’s And the Eyes I(s) of Them Both Were Opeined at Warren St. Marks. Jon and Anna did an amazing job memorizing 17 pages of monologues, despite whatever plague took Jon’s voice on Friday. Thank you both so much! And thank you to Cathy for arranging the garden and Pat for seeing every show!

AND NOW…
THE CULMINATION OF THIS SUMMER’S WORK!

To Brooklyn!

Epic: the butterfly by Angela Santillo at RING was awesome, not just in the garden, but also when we performed it guerrilla-style in the subway on Friday night.
