Feste is actually in semi-permanent hiding at an undisclosed location (although it's possible he could be tempted out by the prospect of meeting the divine Ann). Just to add to your picture of Fairfield, we just lost our movie theater here. Closed. Gone forever. We are now a small midwestern town without a movie theater. Perhaps some bright spark will organize some movie nights at the Sondheim, but I can't see anyone coming along to buy the old Co-Ed.
