"To hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature"
Hamlet - Act 3, Sc. 2
In 1986, The Shakespeare Center, operating as Shakespeare Festival/LA, presented the first Summer Festival, with performances of Twelfth Night in Pershing Square. The audience included friends, a few earnest theatergoers, and the homeless residents of the Square. The homeless took great pride in the production, and each night they became more and more involved in its promotion and management, showing the audience where to sit, handing out programs, answering questions, and thanking everyone for coming.
