More images from the “Much ado about nothing” rehearsal, with the actors from Island Shakespeare
Roosevelt Island
Do you like Shakespeare? If you do, and if you live in New York, than you’re lucky. Come to Roosevelt Island to see Much Ado About Nothing played by those young professional actors from Island Shakespeare company. I was fortunate to watch them rehearsing for their upcoming play. It’s a lot of hard work, and in the same time a lot of fun, as you can see from my images below.
Today I will show you a few images from Roosevelt Island, as some call it the best kept secret of Manhattan. Technically, from the organizational point of view, this is also Manhattan. Islanders can travel to Manhattan by subway or by the newly renovated cable car (tram) , which is also a Manhattan tourist attraction.

In 2011 Roosevelt Island Operating Corp started to organize a cherry tree festival, to celebrate spring and the beautiful cherry tree promenade on Roosevelt Island. It also honored the victims of the of the powerful earthquake and tsunami which struck Japan in 2011. It was a nice warm afternoon, combining spring beauty with Japanese traditions. See images below.
Roosevelt Island, one of the best kept secrets of Manhattan, is technically a part of it, but in the same time is totally independent and separate. Every year, different activities are organized here, one of them being Fall for Arts. Last year , this program included , among other things, a presentation of Oedipus Rex by an all male cast.
