Tickets are FREE, and are distributed online (a limited numbers) and in person at the theater (most tickets are distributed at the theater) on the day of the performance.  The ticket line forms early in the morning, and can get REALLY long, so bring some coffee, a good book, and plan to queue up early.  Ticket policies are strictly enforced, so read the rules and make sure you know what is and isn’t allowed, as well get some tips to help you plan the best ways to secure your free tickets.

Anne Hathaway & Shakespeare in Central Park

“He was surrounded by movie stars and celebrities and this young man who neither drinks nor smokes was intoxicated with it all…Unfortunately, he lacked the resources to maintain the opulent lifestyle of his new friends. Even more unfortunately, he had almost unfettered access to hundreds of thousands of dollars with few controls on his spending ability, until it was too late.”

Rafaello Follieri, pleaded guilty last month to defrauding investors out of $2.4 million. Anne Hathaway was not found to be culpable by investigators in any of Follieri’s admitted crimes. Apparently, the fact that she is a movie star was the thing that pushed him into a life of crime. What an ass.  He lies, he cheats, he steals and it’s her fault because she has wealthy friends and is successful at what she does? 

I’m tired of excuses, tired of people who use weakness as an excuse for bad behavior.  Anyone past the age of 5 has heard of the Golden Rule, has some idea of what right and wrong means. Don’t do the wrong thing just because you are able to get away with it for awhile, be an adult, a responsible citizen, and if you’ve got baggage, as we all do, carry it yourself, don’t add it to your partner’s already heavy load. 

In the words of Cordelia Chase, former Buffy Scoobie and ex-resident of Sunnydale:

“…deal with it. Embrace the pain, spank your inner moppet, whatever, but get over it.”

How about you, do you have a Hathaway-esque story to tell?  Anybody ever blame you for their inability to live by the rules?  Do you know someone who won’t own up to their fraudulent behavior?
