SUMMARY:Macbeth (Part One) IN PERSON Reading - Central County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play with our leader Tom Haine – part of our Central County-led events!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/macbeth-part-one-online-reading-central-county-tickets-228669585887 \nTL;DR: (may contain spoilers): Macbeth hears that he is going to be king; he and Lady Macbeth kill people so he can become king; both of them die. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife\, Macbeth kills the king\, becomes the new king\, and kills more people out of paranoia. Civil war erupts to overthrow Macbeth\, resulting in more death. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\n\nTom Haine has extensive directing credits which include Tartuffe\, Romeo and Juliet\, King Lear\, Hamlet\, Macbeth\, Hedda Gabler\, You Can’t Take It With You\, Bury the Dead\, Rumors\, Dearly Departed\, Nunsense and Julius Caesar. He has received formal training in directing from the Berkeley Rep and from Cambridge University in the UK. He has also trained with the Old Globe’s Jonathan McMurtry\, Dakin Matthews\, and Brendon Fox and with the San Diego Rep’s Todd Salovey and Sam Woodhouse. He is a graduate of the British American Drama Academy Mid-Summer Oxford Program (BADA) in 2010 and practices immigration and criminal law. \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Hamlet\, (Part Two) ONLINE Reading - North County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play directed by Patrick McBride -part of our North County events!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThere will be a ZOOM link to join the reading\, available on the Online Event page or in your “My Tickets” section. Register on Eventbrite to access the link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hamlet-part-two-online-reading-north-county-tickets-229668222837 \nTL;DR: (may contain spoilers): Hamlet sees his dead dad’s ghost\, pretends to go crazy with revenge\, actually goes crazy with revenge (debatable)\, and everyone dies. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: The ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the new king\, Hamlet’s uncle. Hamlet feigns madness\, contemplates life and death\, and seeks revenge. His uncle\, fearing for his life\, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. The play ends with a duel\, during which the King\, Queen\, Hamlet’s opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\n\nPatrick McBride has worked as a professional actor at numerous Shakespeare festivals and theatres around the country\, the last two years touring with Intrepid in their Shakespeare education tour\, and playing the fool for the San Diego Shakespeare Society’s stage reading of King Lear. He has taught Shakespeare classes for kids and adults at the Old Globe\, the Shakespeare theater in Washington DC\, Intrepid\, and for Luminary Arts. \n  \n“My passion for Shakespeare focuses on how to play it and how to say it. When I direct one of his plays I assert that Shakespeare is directing from the grave\, we simply need to find and follow the clues in the text that enable us to unlock how to best bring it to life on the stage. I will therefore discuss the language\, the characters\, the plot\, the staging\, the spectacle and the theme of As You Like It as if those participating in the open reading were the cast of the play and we were attempting our first read through.” – Patrick McBride \n  \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in!

Hamlet feigns madness\, contemplates life and death\, and seeks revenge. His uncle\, fearing for his life\, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. The play ends with a duel\, during which the King\, Queen\, Hamlet’s opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\n\nPatrick McBride has worked as a professional actor at numerous Shakespeare festivals and theatres around the country\, the last two years touring with Intrepid in their Shakespeare education tour\, and playing the fool for the San Diego Shakespeare Society’s stage reading of King Lear. He has taught Shakespeare classes for kids and adults at the Old Globe\, the Shakespeare theater in Washington DC\, Intrepid\, and for Luminary Arts. \n  \n“My passion for Shakespeare focuses on how to play it and how to say it. When I direct one of his plays I assert that Shakespeare is directing from the grave\, we simply need to find and follow the clues in the text that enable us to unlock how to best bring it to life on the stage. I will therefore discuss the language\, the characters\, the plot\, the staging\, the spectacle and the theme of As You Like It as if those participating in the open reading were the cast of the play and we were attempting our first read through.” – Patrick McBride \n  \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch. We suspect\, however\, that it will look like too much fun for you to resist for long. A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare Authorship Forum - IN-PERSON @ Coronado Library and via ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we dive into both sides of this fierce debate\, including an appearance by Cheryl Eagan-Donovan\, acclaimed documentary filmmaker.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nJoin us IN-PERSON at the Coronado Public Library or via ZOOM\nRSVP on Eventbrite to receive the zoom link. \n \nFor hundreds of years\, doubts have been raised as to whether William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon\, a man of limited education and experience\, actually wrote the plays poems\, and sonnets credited to him. Walt Whitman\, Mark Twain\, Sigmund Freud\, Henry James\, Orson Welles\, and Malcom X\, to name a few\, have expressed such doubts. \nAt the forum\, we will introduce the question for the general audience by showing 20 minutes of a documentary\, “Last Will. & Testament\,” which provides viewpoints of both so-called “Orthodox” scholars and doubters. An informal discussion will follow\, moderated by Gordon Gidlund\, past President of the Society\, with the intent of more fully airing the controversy. Local notables representing both sides will contribute to the discussion. \nThe forum will also include a Zoom appearance by Cheryl Eagan-Donovan\, an acclaimed documentary filmmaker\, who will argue in favor of a leading author candidate\, Edward de Vere\, Earl of Oxford\, a highly educated nobleman in the court of Queen Elizabeth\, who traveled extensively in Italy where so many of the plays take place. \nCoronado Public Library: 640 Orange Ave\, Coronado\, CA 92118 \nZoom: a link will be available on the “Online Event” page for those who register for that ticket type

SUMMARY:The Old Globe's Taming of the Shrew
DESCRIPTION:June 5 – July 10\, 2022 \nLowell Davies Festival Theatre \nBy William Shakespeare\nDirected by Shana Cooper \n“Come on\, and kiss me\, Kate.”\nNOTE: SDSS Members can login to our site to get the link for 35% off! \nIs anyone a match for the brash and strong-willed Katherine? The dashing adventurer Petruchio thinks he’s up to the challenge. Two of the sexiest figures in all of world theatre set off sparks in a clash of wills that is as bold as it is uproarious. Shakespeare’s masterful comedic take on the battle of the sexes turns everything we think about love\, marriage\, and gender on its head. Director Shana Cooper brings to the Globe her daring and contemporary staging\, which The New York Times praised as “an exhilarating new way to look at the comedy through modern eyes\,” and The Wall Street Journal’s theatre critic called “the best Shrew I’ve ever reviewed.”\n\nAn earlier version of this production of The Taming of the Shrew premiered at Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (Davis McCallum\, Artistic Director; Kate Liberman\, Managing Director) in June 2018.\n \nThe Taming of the Shrew is supported by lead production sponsor Darlene Marcos Shiley\, production sponors Diane Berol in memory of John Berol\, Karen and Donald Cohn\, Silvija and Brian Devine\, The Conrad Prebys Foundation\, Jean and Gary Shekhter\, and the Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Fund\, with additional artist sponsors The Lodge at Torrey Pines (for director Shana Cooper). This production is supported in part by the Jean and Gary Shekhter Fund for Classic Theatre. \nVicki and Carl Zeiger Insights Seminar: Tuesday\, June 7\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

She keeps her cards close\, but feels deeply the loss of everything she left behind at court.\nOliver – 20s – 30s. Cunning and self-interested. Resentful of his brother Orlando\, to the point of attempting to have him killed. In spite of the darker edges of his nature\, there is a goodness in him that grows once he is out in the woods. He’s the kind of person who might be surprised by the depths of his own anger\, and equally by his chance at redemption.\nTouchstone – 30s – 60s. Nimble with language\, and a quick wit. A very capable court fool\, they also guard their true self jealously. Touchstone is a true convert to country living\, provided it’s a life of leisure. Freedom from the strictures of the court provide boundless room for their ample mind. Uses foolery as a means of truth telling.\n\nMusical ability a plus.\n\n\nDuke Frederick/Duke Senior – Late 40s – 50s. Frederick is volatile\, paranoid\, with a deep streak of cruelty. He is easily led\, while also being fiercely mistrustful. Arguably the most overtly villainous person in the play\, it stems from fighting so hard to get power\, and fear of losing it.\n\nSenior\, by contrast\, is thoughtful\, confident\, and generous. He’s not quick to temper\, and considers the needs of those around him\, weighing their nature before leveling his reaction. Probably good in a scrap\, but he’s more likely to reason with an opponent than hit them.\nMusical ability a plus.\n\n\n​Phoebe – 20s – early 30s. Intelligent by nature rather than by education\, with more than a hint of vanity. She’s ambitious\, independent\, and is thoroughly fed up with the kind of country riff raffs who have courted her her entire life. For someone who says ‘no’ a lot\, she reacts very poorly to being told ‘no’ herself.\n\nLikely doubles with Le Beau\, a courtier under Duke Frederick. They are gossipy\, observant\, and adept at following the whims of those in authority. A social climber of the first order.\nMusical ability a big plus.\n\n\nAudrey – 20s – early 30s. One of the truly simple of this world. Trusting\, unambitious without being lazy\, and content with where her life has landed her. When Touchstone comes into her life\, it’s like the world has cracked open\, offering her the kind of humor\, excitement\, and attention she never knew existed.\n\nLikely doubles with some hangers-on at the court.\nMusical ability a big plus.\n\n\nSilvius – 20s – 30s. Persistent\, loyal\, and kind. The sort of person who loves deeply and trusts readily. An optimist to the marrow of his bones\, he’s certain that Phoebe will love him if she would only give him a chance.\n\nMusical ability a big plus.\nPossibly doubles with Charles the Wrestler.\n\n\nCharles the Wrestler – 20s – 40s. The kind of guy who thrives under Duke Frederick. Danger is inherently part of his nature\, but he’s got the kind of honor that comes to those who live by their hands. An exceptional fighter\, he’s not above killing his opponents when necessary. That kind of ruthless outlook is what made him – and keeps him – a champion.\nAmiens – Any age. A musician to the core. Someone for whom the lyrics of a song are where they feel most at home. Abandoned the court with Duke Senior because a world run by Frederick is too hard. Watchful\, keen\, and a good keeper of secrets. There may be something almost otherworldly about them. They are also the leader of whatever musical group we can cobble together for this world. Skill with instruments is necessary\, and they will also be creating songs based on the lyrics in the play.\nAdam – An old timer. Worked on the de Boys land their entire life\, and almost inordinately fond of Orlando. Loyal\, determined\, stubborn\, and irascible. They describe themselves as “strong and lusty\,” but that’s likely wishful thinking.\n\nThe role will double in some capacity.\nMusical ability a plus.\n\n\nWilliam – 20s – early 30s. The moniker of “Sweet William” seems adept. Not terribly bright\, but as nice a guy as you could hope to meet. He’s been courting Audrey for a good while\, but can’t hope to compete with a mind like Touchstone. Not for lack of trying\, however.\n\nThe role will double in some capacity.\nMusical ability a plus.

A lot of newcomers don’t want to read initially but when they see how fun it is\, they join in! But there is no pressure at all if you just want to watch and we have regular attendees who have never read. \nQ: Can I act as a specific character or be in a particular scene? \nA: That may be possible. Each evening has an assigned director who has planned what scenes to cover. If you are really anxious to act in a specific scene\, talk to the director at the start and see what can be arranged. No guarantees\, but if the scene is being done that night\, it might be possible. All scenes are cast that night right before they are read\, so usually\, everyone who wants to act has the chance to do at least a small role. \nQ: Who can participate? \nA: Everyone! They are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:All’s Well That Ends Well (Part One) ONLINE Reading - Central County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun night of reading the play with our leader Lalitte Stolper – part of our Central County-led events!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThere will be a ZOOM link to join the reading\, available on the Online Event page or in your “My Tickets” section. Register on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alls-well-that-ends-well-part-one-online-reading-central-county-tickets-228664911907 \n\nTL;DR: (may contain spoilers): Helen saves the King’s life\, he gives her Bertram to marry\, who runs away from her\, and she tricks him into impregnating her. Everything ends happily. \n—- \nA bit more about the play: Helen heals the King of France\, and the King grants her permission to marry Bertram\, the man she loves. Bertram rejects her and leaves a list of tasks that she must do to have him acknowledge their marriage. She follows him to Italy\, completes all the tasks\, and Bertram accepts her as his wife. \n—- \nHilarious TL;DR [“too long\, didn’t read”] notes and summaries from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Photo Credits: The Old Globe \n\n\n\n\nLalitte Stolper has a degree in English Literature from Oxford University\, and studied Shakespeare and Renaissance drama as part of that degree. As a student\, she played Olivia in Twelfth Night and Calpurnia in Julius Caesar. She worked in theatre for two years as a director\, including a shortened version of Measure for Measure in a pub in Fulham\, London. She was also a sculptor and installation artist\, working largely in the public sectors in France and England\, throughout 90s and 2000s. One project was in a small town in central France\, where she interviewed and photographed expectant mothers to create a contemporary matriarchal version of the town museum’s medieval stone-carved relief of the Arbre de Jessé; her version was in paper relief\, photographs and text. \n\n\nFAQ \nQ: Do I have to read? \nA: You are welcome to show up and just watch.
