Each July, Ophelia\u2019s Jump presents\u00a0its Midsummer Shakespeare Festival at the beautiful Sontag Greek Theatre on the campus of Pomona College who is a major sponsor\u00a0of the event. \u00a0<\/p>

The Sontag Greek Theatre, located at the western edge of The Wash on Pomona College\u2019s campus, was built in 1910 and renovated in 1997, when it was renamed in honor of Professor of Philosophy Frederick Sontag, who was a member of Pomona\u2019s faculty for 57 years, and his wife Carol.<\/p>

The site of the Greek Theatre had long been a location for both casual student events and more formal performances and ceremonies. In 1910, the senior class gifted $2,500 to build a permanent theatre, which included several hundred concrete seats and bleachers. Pomona College: Reflections on a Campus states that the Wash as \u201ca civic space embedded in nature,\u00a0represented both an extension of the \u2018college in a garden\u2019 concept and reference to the classical groves of academe.\u201d<\/p>

The amphitheatre is set amidst a grove of old oaks and surrounded by lawns affording an ideal space for the festival allowing patrons to arrive early and picnic while enjoying the \u201cGreen Show\u201d before each performance. \u00a0On Saturdays, local artisans, community organizations and vendors set up tables to sell their wares and provide information. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
