As You Like It @ New American Shakespeare Tavern
"All the world's a stage . . ." We end the season as we
began, with another trip into Shakespeare's enchanted woods where
Rosalind disguises herself as a man as Orlando litters the woods
with love notes praising her beauty and virtue. Will the two lovers
be united? Will Orlando survive the wrestling match? Will you have
a great time? Here's a hint: in June there's no better place to
be than in Shakespeare's woods at The Shakespeare Tavern. $10 Preview

Collage team of planners will give an overview of the BeltLine and
existing conditions in the area. Attendees will then participate
in smaller working groups facilitated by a member of the planning
team and assisted by resource experts. Each group will identify
resources and constraints and create a conceptual plan for open
space, land use and circulation. Finally, each working group will
examine one major development opportunity within the NPU Cluster
by building a conceptual model focused around a specific area.
Following the Saturday Workshop, the EDAW/Urban Collage team will
review the output from the Workshop and synthesize the public feedback
in combination with the consultants' technical analysis to develop
an overall framework for open space, land use and circulation. The
team will also create illustrations, cross-sections and initial
site plans showing the character of future development.
On Tuesday, June 21st, the EDAW/Urban Collage team will present
draft plans and illustrations to the community for validation and
refinement during the recap session of the redevelopment planning
