It takes a lot from you commenters to surprise La Cieca, but this time she was frankly bowled over by the depth and breadth of your imagination. Choosing winners in the “Steel Yourself” competition was one of the most difficult judging tasks she ever set herself, but somehow she managed to narrow the field down to a single superative season in each category.

The donors would have be deep-pocketed indeed, but it would be worth it to showcase the ambitious but realizable season proposed by grimoaldo. For a season of one’s wildest dreams, La Cieca thinks the most tempting is the one offered by ianw2, with the interactive production of Midsummer Night’s Dream in Central Park particularly appealing. Bravi tutti!

ianw2 and grimoaldo are requested to email La Cieca so she may forward to them their richly-deserved Amazon gift card.
