An evening of Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, wooing Lady Ann will be presented in a delightful performance under the stars when William Shakespeare’s “Richard III” is performed at 8 p.m. Aug. 10 at the downtown gazebo in Ellicottville. The free performance, sponsored by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce and the
