1660 - the FIRST beardless Desdemona - STRANGE! Event Cache

The first woman to appear in a Shakespeare play did so in 1660 – 44 years after Shakespeare’s death.

It’s well known that professional theatre troupes in Renaissance England included male actors only, so that the roles of, for instance, Juliet, Rosalind, Lady Macbeth, and Cleopatra were first played by boys. Actually the pre-pubescent boys probably had hairless faces if not peach fuzz.

Actually, for such an important event on this date there was no recording of who the woman was - only speculation as to who it may have been.

Second Thursday Royersford Area Neighborly Geocaching Event (STRANGE).

The event is being held at a familiar location, the Collegeville Diner at 290 Main Street, Collegeville, PA or at the above coordinates. The event starts when 'the computer' (the event log) arrives at 5:30PM and goes to 8PM. If you can't make it for exactly at 5:30, no problem. You're not considered late unless you arrive after everyone has left.

Join the international hobby, sport, affectation or become a convert to geocaching (it's a FAMILY FRIENDLY activity - all are WELCOME). Participation and membership to STRANGE like Geocaching is FREE. We ask that you RSVP/Log your attendance by Monday, 5th - number in your party and your home location. However anyone is welcome to 'crash' our event. Many new attendees start to pick up some finds before the event and after; it's even better if you go as a group! There are several great caches and cache sites nearby! We always have our core followers and a constant inflow of new faces and names from as far as 150 miles around!

STRANGE is an informal gathering to talk about geocaching and just socialize. It's a great way to get hints about caches that stump you, meet the faces behind your favorite caches (or the diabolical ones) and pointers for hiding your own caches. STRANGE is where you can share your exploits, bring collections of coins, bugs - swag, and the like, give away items - anything that you think are fun, interesting or want to share. We will have a display, trade and trackable swap/take table.

Donations to the door prizes are welcome. There are also some surprise prizes. If you have a suggestion for an event activity that we can run that night please email the EO immediately! At this STRANGE cache we will have door prize drawings, a 50/50, STRANGE T-shirts, club shirts, event PTs and a FTF prize. Donations of future door prizes are always welcome. Hope to see you there!
