Art!
Games! Entertainment! Food! FREE!
Reynolda House Museum of American Art will host a free
Community Day celebration on Saturday, May 5 from noon to 3 p.m. The day will be
themed around a Shakespearean pageant, and visitors are invited to enjoy a
spring day of poetry, dance, food and games in the spirit of the pageants and
outdoor dramas that took place on estates of the Country Place Era, including
the Reynolda estate.
The
historic house will be open for touring, and guests may discover exhibitions in
the bedroom galleries as well as "A Genius for Place: American Landscapes of the
Country Place Era," on view in the Babcock Wing gallery. Outside, the
Winston-Salem Festival Ballet will perform scenes from "A Midsummer Night's
Dream," and The Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem will perform vignettes from
several plays, including "Romeo and Juliet."
In
addition to art activities both inside and out, there will be a poetry tree,
Elizabethan games and a scavenger hunt. In keeping with the theme of the day,
families are invited to visit the Shakespearean Garden of Flowers and Verses
planted in front of the historic house. For more information about Community Day
