Grand Opening – Globe Theater on Renaissance Island
Globe Theatre Grand Opening, Renaissance Island (204, 45, 27).
Sunday, July 22, 2007
1 PM-6PM

The original Globe Theatre opened a few years back in the Autumn of 1599 in Southwark on the River Thames. Join our scholar and builder as they discuss the history of this remarkable Elizabethan theatre. There will be two discussions/Q & A sessions, fireworks, and a dance, too! Not to worry–William Prynne will not be reading from his loathsome Histriomastix against theatre and dancing. Do feel free to wear your favorite Renaissance/Tudor period attire! (Visitors will find free attire in the wecome center located at 69, 183, 150).

Here is the schedule:

1-2PM Shakespearean scholar Dolgoruky Umarov and Globe builder Charlene Trudeau will discuss the Theatre, followed by a Q & A Session.
2-5PM Globe(al) Dance Party with Firworks around 3.
5-6PM Dolgoruky and Charlene will repeat their earlier program

Parcels are available at reasonable rates and information on renting can be obtained by contacting BrianA Corleone inworld. Green colored cones over residences still available to rent list land size and prims available on each parcel. Cottages on the land can be used or replaced with approved dwellings that reflect the rural surroundings.
