What’s extra Rose Desk than wine, theatre, and a superb themed picnic? It’s no secret that I’m an enormous fan of Shakespeare Dallas (a lot in order that they made me their publicist years in the past) however The Significance of Being Earnest fingers down is considered one of my favourite SD productions so far! My good friend Hope and I had the perfect time noshing on tea sandwiches and laughing the evening away.
The Picnic
After I heard that there have been cucumber sandwiches and tea time within the present, I knew I needed to pack somewhat tea party-themed picnic. I introduced my favourite rose picnic blanket, customized Rose Desk tote bag, and white roses with greenery, which regarded beautiful with the picnic blanket.
I thought-about taking considered one of my tiered tea serving trays however opted as an alternative to take light-weight silver platters from Thrift for Good to provide that very same old school class that was far much less cumbersome.
The Wine
I selected Chandon Brut Rosé as a result of bubbles are all the time a good suggestion on a picnic. This dry glowing rosé has notes of watermelon, strawberry, and cherry, excellent for a summer season picnic!
The Meals
I made tarragon hen salad and my well-known white chocolate lemon bars the evening earlier than, scones that morning, after which all I needed to do was make a few sandwiches earlier than heading to the park!

I don’t assume I’ve ever packed up a tea party-inspired picnic earlier than! This straightforward array of tasty treats hit the spot on this breezy summer season evening.
I spontaneously added a simple angel meals cake dessert to the menu: retailer purchased cake shells topped with vanilla whipped cream, summer season berries, and mint from my backyard.
The Present
That is fingers down the most effective exhibits I’ve ever seen at Shakespeare Dallas! The hysterical rom com, directed by Jenni Stewart, had us laughing all evening lengthy. Tommy Stuart was sensational as Earnest/Jack. He didn’t waste one minute of his time on stage, including nuance to even the only second with comedic timing that was a pleasure to look at. Brandon Whitlock was hilarious as Algernon, garnering uproarious laughter.
Caitlin Chapa gave it her all as Gwendolyn, leaning into the raunchiest bits of the character, a lot to my delight. Lily Gast as Cecily was half Isla Fisher in Wedding ceremony Crashers and half Moaning Myrtle pre-moaning and it completely labored. Nicole Berastequi introduced gravitas to the present as Girl Bracknell and Elizabeth Evans stole each scene she was in as Miss Prism.
