We are planning on producing GnomeFest in conjunction with The Gnomes of New Hope and our parade activity. When and if we get to that point, we will consider producing GnomeFest at Tamanend Park. It is well suited for what we are doing, it is nearby to Image f the Mind Studios, and we anticipate using The Southampton Days Parade as a test case for our parade presence with The Gnomes. It's not as close to New Hope as I would like, but... oh well. We will be looking for the right location in New Hope.
In that regard, we also anticipate creating a walk-thru cyclorama presentation. That may be a traveling exhibition or it may be permanently set-up in or around New Hope or Lahaska.
We also have in mind a theme park scenario somewhere in the vicinity.
All of these idea require Partnership. We'll see what happens. Send me an email. AG
Shakespearean & classic films presented in Tamanend Park 's Meadow Amphitheatre. Screening on alternating Saturday Evenings@Dusk. Rain Date- the following Saturday. Free to the public, donations accepted.
Basic Information;
BASIC INFORMATION;
Tamanend Park is located at 1255 Second Street Pike in Southampton, Pennsylvania (at the intersection of Maple Avenue halfway between Street and Bristol Roads).
Show times take place at dusk, which starts around 9:00pm but as the summer wanes, the times become earlier as the sun sets earlier, ending at around 6:00 pm.
The trails are illuminated with solar lights so you can feel confident that the lights will lead you to The Meadow Amphitheatre. If you arrive earlier you can check out the stage before it gets dark. This might help you feel better about where the films are shown because they are not right next to the parking areas. You will need to walk a little ways into the park. It is very enchanting and a lot of fun!
I suggest you get there a half an hour before dusk/dark. You are welcome to picnic in the Meadow while we set up for the film and you may end up getting a performance from the stage.
We have a concession stand where we sell canned soda, bagged chips, pretzels and popcorn. This year we tried ice pops and candy which worked well. For next season we hope to have purchased a popcorn machine.
We also sell insect repellent in case you forget to bring some, but the insects are really not that bad because we have tiki torches with citronella which seems to work pretty well.
We have a raffle which you can view on the IMS Virtual Studio and there is a countdown clock for the next film at that site also.
There are more pictures of the set-up for Cinema Under the Stars and you can also view a slide show presentation which will help you to locate the stage or find directions. To see this slide show go to;
The IMS Virtual Studio or The Shakespearean Journal.
