40 Plays in 40 Days » California http://www.40playsin40days.com Let's tell the story of seeing all of Shakespeare's plays in one summer Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:45:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Rethinking Utah and Oregon http://www.40playsin40days.com/2009/03/08/rethinking-utah-and-oregon/ http://www.40playsin40days.com/2009/03/08/rethinking-utah-and-oregon/#comments Mon, 09 Mar 2009 01:17:09 +0000 Chris http://www.40playsin40days.com/?p=21 I suppose it shouldn’t have surprised me, but my keen plan of flying into Salt Lake City, Utah and seeing the Utah Shakespearean Festival, then renting a car and driving to the Oregon Festival and then to Northern California before returning the car and hopping on a plane back home was a bit ambitious.

But isn’t that what this summer is about anyway?

Aside from the driving, which I think I would have been okay with, the major break up of the plan came when I did what I should have done awhile ago: find out where the Utah festival was at in the first place. And yes, it’s not in SLC and yes it is the opposite end of Utah. So that 2000-mile trek is out and another idea is forming.

Why not all of California?

And it’s not a bad idea: good festivals in the Bay Area and plenty of summer park productions in Southern California (and, thinking of hitting Lake Tahoe toward the end of the little stay in the Golden State).

So, as I continue to tag theater and park productions for the rest of the month, I let the geography breathe a bit and perhaps inhale the Pacific Ocean a bit more.
