Comedy and Drachma: Genesius Guild's “Plutus,” at Lincoln Park through July 28
Saturday, in the park; it's already the end of July. It was a comfortable, comparatively cool evening on July 20 – mid-70s, low humidity – and I was in Rock Island's Lincoln Park to see Aristophanes' Plutus.

(Not to insinuate that hallucinogens are involved, but experiencing their productions might make you think you'd had some.)
