My favorite place would have to be my backyard. I've lived in this
house for about thirteen years, so there are so many memories from the
backyard: birthday parties, playing with my siblings, etc. I'm not an
"outdoors-person", but I find the comfortable shady areas of the
backyard very relaxing.
My North picture shows the lake that's behind my house. It is a huge
lake that goes all around my neighborhood, where various residents go
fishing and boating. I can't go swimming in it though because there
have been alligators seen in there.
My East Picture shows some of the trees that my mom has planted over
the years. She has a master's degree in plant genetics and has always
had a love for nature. All of the plants in my backyard were planted
by her.
My West Picture shows a typical Florida orange tree. :)
My South Picture is on the patio by my pool. I love swimming in the
pool and tanning near it in the summer!
And that's it :)

I began performing Shakespeare on this spot nearly 20 years ago. Back
then, it was nothing more than lots of grass, ant hills, and flying
fish (in the pond, behind the current stage). Some of my very fondest
stage memories occured there...and it was really amazing to finally be
on a REAL STAGE this past summer!
The amphitheatre is located just yards away from the Atlantic Ocean,
so the breezes are quite lovely - especially at night. And the Florida
sunsets really provide a fabulous backdrop for everything from Hamlet
to Midsummer.
The hours I've spent, on this very spot, have really shaped me as an
artist...and as a person, I think. I've learned how to co-exist with
Mother Nature (and know that she ALWAYS wins) and have, hopefully,
provided many people with an enjoyable evening of Shakespeare under
the stars.
So - that's (one of) favorite spot(s)!! :)
