Editor,

I want to thank the good citizens of Whidbey Island who always come through for their community. You’re just awesome.

Recently I sent an appeal on behalf of Island Shakespeare Festival in Langley for folks who might be able to house some of actors and designers for their two-three month stays on the island. Several folks offered to host and all of us at Island Shakespeare Festival are eternally grateful for this generosity.

Thank you, Whidbey Island community, for your terrific attitude toward the artists of the world. We couldn’t do it without all of you.

Please come see the shows (“Romeo and Juliet” and “A Bold Stroke for a Husband”) between July 21 and Sept. 10. Get reservations and info at www.islandshakspearefest.org.
