The Shakespeare Showcase returns with new characters!

Posted September 19, 2020 by Shaxspear | Leave a Comment

To continue our motto that “we do Shakespeare all year ’round”, we’ve asked members to share a sonnet or speech in our second online Showcase!

We hope you enjoy all the performances!

Kevin G. Manley has acted in dozens of San Diego stage and film productions over the past several years. He is a full time math teacher who developed a love of theatre by going to his high school’s productions. This eventually led to becoming the theatre program’s assistant director. He also teachers film production. Kevin is also our Readings Coordinator here at SDSS!
