shakespeare in the park virtual line

Last summer I recommended the Public's virtual line, which gives away Shakespeare in the Park tickets. I don' t think anyone took me up on it, but Skramly and I have been able to enjoy free performances both this year and last. Right now The Bacchae is playing and it should be really easy to get the tickets because the staging is awful and it's really hard to sit through. Enjoy!
