Happy Mardi Gras!! Mardi Gras has its roots in Lup Happy Mardi Gras!! Mardi Gras has its roots in Lupercalia, the festival mentioned in “Julius Caesar.” To me, one of the most intriguing and “characters” in JC is the Citizens.

Come see it at the Hudson Backstage, March 2 & 3, and March 9 & 10 [link in bio] And a huge thanks to @zissyrozen who artfully guided our Players in creating their masks!!! #shakespeare #juliuscaesar #artsaveslives #syfla #lupercalia
