City parks hosted Vallejo Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' with growing attendance
Summary
Staff reported that the park-season performance of As You Like It drew multigenerational audiences, that the founding director (name to be inserted in minutes) participated in a city YouTube segment, and that the program remains free to the public.
Staff reported that Vallejo Shakespeare performed As You Like It in the park this year and that attendance increased from prior seasons. Nancy said the program reached multigenerational audiences, praised the founding director's role in the production and noted a short YouTube segment in which the director appears in character.
"It was, As You Like It... it was one of the funner productions that they have put on," Nancy said, calling the event a free offering that brings people to the park and creates a natural backdrop for performances. Staff said there were no neighborhood issues reported and thanked volunteers and crews who made the event possible.
Why it matters: free cultural programming activates park spaces, encourages new visits and can tie into broader efforts to increase public use of parks and civic programming.
