The 2018 Youth Shakespeare Festival’s Open Mic Shakespeare fundraiser was an amazing evening. With students from all our nine schools, plus members of Upstart Crows of Santa Fe performing, the restaurant was packed with friends and family members. I think we may have shocked the staff, who were figuring on a relatively quiet night. At one point, the line to order went out the front door and into the street.

The actors did a wonderful job with their scenes and speeches and a good time was had by all. Thanks to Il Vicino for their exemplary service and support!
