Another Opening, another show... This summer the Children's Shakespeare festival continues with a performance by the Meri Mini Players of "Comedie of Errors" in the beautiful West Side Community Garden  floral amphitheater. The production is adapted cleverly from the original by Morna Martell who also directed it. The actors are all professional young actors. Admission is free and performances are 5 pm Sat and Sun through the second week end in August. If  outdoor theater is not your thing,  the Garden is open daily from 9 am- (or whenever I can get someone over there to open the gates) to dusk every day of the week all year long- icy conditions permitting. It is located on West 89 and 90th steets midblock between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues in Manhattan and is a more pleasant place to sit and day dream than the local Starbucks. If you feel like exercise, I need fresh blood to turn the compost. All work is done by volunteer members. Membership is $15 yearly, and if a vegetable plot is your goal, there is a two year waiting list, but caretaker plots come up pretty quickly. Check us out at westsidecommunitygarden .org.

I'm so glad you're back! Have missed your blog and hope time will allow you to post often. I'm from Boston, but am a lover of the Upper West Side, so I love to hear what's going on in that neck of the woods.
