<div><font size="4">Please consider joining OddyFest and members of the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival for a special CSF benefit performance called <strong>"Voltimand and Cornelius Are Dead, Too" this Friday night, March 5th, at 7:15 p.m. at the Brody-Nelson Meeting Room of the Cleveland Heights Library (2345 Lee Road).</strong> This hilarious and philosophical take on <em>Hamlet</em> and <em>Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead</em> features Sarah Mzik, Justin Brenis, and whole bunch of lesser-known folks (surnamed Branagh, Dench, Jacobi, et al) on cassette tape. The show is FREE, though the proverbial hat will be passed around to support CSF's free summer 2010 season at the show's close. Hope to see (and hear) you then! Read on for details:</font></div>
