An open letter from Shakespeare in the Park
Dear Neighbors: Thank you very much for supporting Shakespeare in the Park - Miami at our recent production in Peacock Park. Despite a bit of rain, we had a record attendance of just under 4500 people for four shows! On Saturday night, the audience was all the way back to the far field light (in front of where the oak trees begin). We just about filled the entire park with neighbors, families and visitors.
According to our survey, the core of the audience came from the 33133 zip code. Surprisingly, a big chunk of audience (32%) came from Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
Thank you for your patience as we grow our company and work to raise the level of professionalism with each show. Although we have big plans for the coming years, our non-negotiable mission is to continue to keep admission FREE of charge.
Our major financial support so far, comes from The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County. If you liked these productions and want them to remain in Peacock Park, please let your local politicians (Mayor, Commissioners and City Manager) know how you feel.
Please check out the website for more information on Shakespeare Miami, production demographics and production photos. Feel free to email me with suggestions or comments.
Again, many, many thanks for your support.

We were at the show on Saturday night - even with the rain it was fabulous! They should be very proud of the professional production they put on.
They should try to arrange all their funding privately. Get sponsors and/or sell tickets. Taxpayers are too overburdened to pay taxes that pay for someone else's luxuries.
