Valley Shakespeare Festival to perform 'Cyrano' at Veteran's Park in Shelton

CYRANO DE BERGERAC

By Edmond Rostand


SEPT. 3-6 at 7 p.m.

Veteran's Memorial Park
38 Canal Street E., Shelton

Get ready to LOL with VSF this summer!

Join us in Veteran's Memorial Park for this epic story of swashbuckling action, romance, and panache!

As Connecticut continues to reopen and in an effort to keep actors, crew, and audiences safe we have opted for a 3-actor Cyrano as our FREE SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK.


Cyrano de Bergerac is a master of swordplay and wordplay, but a “magnificent Mount Everest of a nose” blocks his path to true love.
From Parisian balconies to bloody battlefields, tongue-tied Christian borrows Cyrano’s words to woo beautiful Roxane - but is she falling for Christian’s looks or Cyrano’s soul?

The play is set in 1640 in Paris.

Run time is approximately 70 minutes with no intermission

Free with a suggested $10 donation; good for ages 10 and up.

Greenwich teen donates 50 face shields he created to Griffin Hospital in Derby

DERBY - Arjun Dayal, 17, of Greenwich recently used his talents at 3D printing to help protect medical staff members at Griffin Hospital.

Dayal delivered 50 face shields to Griffin’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Frederick Browne and Inpatient Services Administrator Kelly Egan, MSN, BSN, RN, as part of his Pegasus COVID-19 Initiative.

Since being inspired by a call from a Boston physician in early March for individuals with 3D printers to make PPE for health care workers at the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic, he has produced and delivered more than 2,600 face shields to hospitals and medical centers across the country.

“I was looking for a way to help, because I want to be a doctor one day and I want someone to have my back, especially in times like this,” Dayal said.

Using a face shield that was developed by Prusa Printers in the Czech Republic, it takes Dayal about 90 minutes to make each face shield. The shield cost about $4.50 to make, and Dayal has set up the website pegasusforcovid19.com to help finance the initiative.

Below photo shows Dayal's new 3D printer he uses to keep up with demand. 

See more photos and information about Dayal's initiative at his site, pegasusforcovid19.com.
