Talkeetna, Alaska: Shakespeare in a Urethane-Insulated School Bus

very Alaskan community has its own unique flavor. But Talkeetna is one of the most creative of Alaskan towns. While visiting, you may hear local musicians serenade you while you eat dinner. Or, on a sunny afternoon, you may run across an outdoor historical play. This is what's happening at left. The stage is up against a urethane-insulated school bus. The audience consists mainly of moms and dads. And the overall effect of this Elizabethan extravaganza is to take viewers straight back to the days when Shakespeare himself entertained the masses in the open air.
