Congratulations to the Upstairs
Players fot their delightful and
innovative presentation of
Midsummer Night's Dream,
which they gave in four different
localities in this area. I saw it in
the Tryon Fine Arts Center's
Farwell Garden and a lovelier
backdrop of trees, mountains,
and evening sky would be hard
to find I'm sure Shakespeare
himself whould have approved of
the rollicking production,
enjoyed and applauded it as did
the enthusiastic audience. Kudos
to the cast and director, John
Gulley.
