A Nashville gem, Shakespeare in the Park, closes its show Love’s Labor’s Lost this weekend in Centennial Park. Shakespeare in the Park has been a part of Nashville for 23 years. Thousands gather each year in the Centennial Park Bandshell for a night of celebrating the Nashville theatre scene and enjoying free Shakespeare. Love Labor’s Lost is a comedy about four men who renounce love for academics, but Cupid takes control when four beautiful women show up. Taking a very earthy approach, the play combines the natural elements with a Victorian time period. The show runs Thursday through Sunday starting at 7:30 p.m. However, if you want to find a place to spread your blanket, you need to arrive by 6:45 p.m. The show is free, but a $5 donation is suggested, which goes to their production costs. This weekend is the closing weekend and your last chance to experience Shakespeare in the Park. Nashville Shakespeare Festival will be debuting its first piece not written by William Shakespeare this fall. They are presenting “Shakespeare’s Case” in which Shakespeare is charged with being irrelevant and forced to testify in court. Next year’s summer production will be Romeo and Juliet. But that’s not all! This month is full of Nashville culture. Greek Fest runs September 10-12 at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church near the intersection of Franklin Pike and Tyne Boulevard. The Italian Lights Festival also happens this weekend, and Oktoberfest is scheduled for October 9 in historic Germantown in Nashville. Don’t have plans for Saturday night? Stomp some grapes, make a picnic of baklava and head to Centennial Park for...

The Student Government Association has revamped its opportunities for freshmen. This year is the debut of the Freshman Leadership Council, the first opportunity for incoming students to become active in Lipscomb’s SGA. The purpose of the Freshman Leadership Council is to allow freshmen to be trained to be leaders on Lipscomb’s campus, not just for SGA, but all facets of leadership. The council members shall also serve as the voice of the freshmen class of Lipscomb University in the Senate, acting as freshmen senators. There are five positions available, but there are other opportunities to be active in SGA as well. The position does have some requirements. One must have a high school GPA of 2.5 or higher and then attend the SGA Retreat on August 27-28, 2010.

Vanderbilt left-hander Richie Goodenow has decided to take the mound for Lipscomb University during his final year of college eligibility. Goodenow, a former standout at Nashville’s John Overton High School, is transferring and will enroll in graduate school at Lipscomb, according to Bisons’ baseball coach Jeff Forehand. “Lipscomb was one of my top choices,” Goodenow said. “It is a real good school. It is close to home. It has a good baseball program. It is a good opportunity for me to come here.” Used primarily as a reliever in his career with the Commodores, Goodenow will be given a chance to earn a spot in the weekend pitching rotation as a starter, according to Forehand. “I’m excited about the opportunity,” Goodenow said. “It is something I will work for. I just want to help out the team any way I can. “I think I am a real good teammate. I am going to compete in any circumstances. My best pitch is my slider.” Goodenow, 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, started one time in 31 appearances for the Commodores last season. But that lone start, only the second of his college career, was against Louisville in the NCAA Regional Tournament. Expected to give the Commodores three or four innings of pitching, Goodenow threw a complete game, allowing only two hits on the way to a 7-0 shutout. It was his longest outing of the season eclipsing his 4.2 innings of relief work against Oklahoma State Feb. 28. The win kept the Commodores postseason drive alive for another day. They would beat Louisville one more time and advance to the Super Regional. Based on...
