I have a cautionary tip for the folks who decide to stop through and see my boy Corey Black bring spoken word to the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis experience. Give yourself at least an hour to find parking. His open mic kicks off at 6:30 p.m., but prepare to miss it if you are not in the vicinity to find a park by 5:30 p.m. I was so excited to get my Poetic Justice flavor a few weeks early that I called myself really doing something by getting to the park by 6 p.m. By the time I find a place to park and finished hiking over the river and through the woods, I had missed the whole doggone thing. I am not joking, and I’m still sad about it. The good news is that he will be back every Sunday at 6:30 p.m. for the run of “Romeo and Juliet” to offer a poetical appetizer to Shakespeare. Since I’m giving advice – please heed it by getting there early – I might as well continue. Y’all should clear your schedule so you can stay for the mainstage show. Even if you don’t “do Shakespeare,” you will love it. I promise. See you in a few days Corey Black.
