Directors of Shakespeare's plays must be running out of locales and time periods in which to set the Bard's much loved, frequently produced romantic comedy Twelfth Night. A popular recent teen movie "She's the Man," featuring TV star Amanda Bynes, turned Shakespeare's female protagonist into a dedicated soccer player who disguises herself as a boy in order to get on the team at her new prep school. (This may not sound much like Twelfth Night, but the movie does follow most of the entertaining twists and turns of the original.)

Mother Nature was not kind to the recent Actors' NET opening weekend of My Fair Lady at Washington Crossing's Open Air Theatre. The show opened on a Thursday and then was promptly rained out Friday and Saturday. So this past weekend's second set of performances was a bit like opening night all over again. Last Wednesday night's production demonstrated the hallmark of a show well rehearsed (most of this cast had performed the musical together earlier this year) with a few of the glitches one might expect from an open Air Theatre production early in its run.
