Studio East presents its second annual Shakespeare in the Park at Juanita Beach this June 

Performances are held at Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland

Much Ado About Nothing – Shakespeare in the Park FREE live performances at Juanita Beach Park June 3-5, 2022 (ages 9+) 

Studio East is excited to bring back Shakespeare in the Park with Much Ado About Nothing after presenting Twelfth Night last summer to enthusiastic outdoor audiences.

A group of 15 talented teens ages 12-19, led by Shakespeare-connoisseur and director Simon Pringle, will present the Shakespearean comedy about love and relationships with four live performances at Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland.

Much Ado About Nothing features two couples – Claudio and Hero, and Beatrice and Benedick. Claudio and Hero are a promised couple who must overcome obstacles before they can wed. Beatrice and Benedick are long-time verbal sparring partners who haven’t yet realized that they love each other. 

The course of love may not always be easy, but it is hilarious in this classic comedy. Each year Studio East likes to put a spin on its annual Shakespeare production, and this year, the show will be set in the romantic Hawaii of the 1950s.

Much Ado About Nothing has a running time of 2 hours plus an intermission. All shows will be held at Juanita Beach Park and are FREE to the community. Performances are June 3 at 6:30pm, June 4 at 2pm and 6:30pm, and June 5 at 2pm. For more info about the show, visit HERE. 

Much Ado About Nothing is presented by Studio East with Dianna Caley as Technical Sponsor.

Studio East Training for the Performing Arts was founded in 1992 to provide theater arts education for young people on the Eastside. Studio East has become one of the largest children’s theater training programs in the Seattle area. Today, Studio East serves over 60,000 people annually with a comprehensive program of drama classes, theater arts camps, Mainstage productions and live performances for children from ages 3 through 19.

King County Library System’s annual Summer Reading Program begins June 1

Thursday, May 26, 2022

ISSAQUAH, WA – MAY 25, 2022 – The King County Library System (KCLS) encourages King County residents of all ages to participate in its annual Summer Reading Program from June 1 to August 31, 2022. 
 
Participants ages 5 and older are invited to track minutes spent reading during the summer, with a 500-minute halfway goal and a 1,000-minute final goal. 
Preschoolers (ages newborn to 5) may complete a series of early literacy activities with assistance from their parents or caregivers.

Visit kcls.org/summer for more information, including reading recommendations and a list of events; the website will launch on June 1 when the program begins.

Participants may read anything they choose to, and reading to someone else or listening to an audiobook counts toward reading minutes. 

  • Use the Beanstack app to sign up for the Summer Reading Program and log reading hours. Or, 
  • Starting June 1, patrons may pick up a reading log at their library to track hours instead.

Residents may also participate in fun and educational activities all summer long, such as arts and crafts workshops, music and magic programs, outdoor StoryWalks, STEM learning opportunities and a variety of literary events. 

There are both in-person and online events to attend this year, as KCLS continues to expand in-person programming in the wake of the pandemic.

Patrons who read for at least 500 minutes, or complete 25 early learning activities, will be commemorated on their library’s Community Board and will receive a KCLS Reader patch featuring artwork by local artist Erin Wallace

Participants who make it to the 1,000-minute mark, or complete 50 early learning activities, will also be celebrated on their library’s Community Board and will receive a KCLS Reader journal featuring Wallace’s artwork. Prizes have been made possible by the KCLS Foundation and will be available while supplies last.
