Sonnet Slam

Hey everyone,

I promise to be more diligent in writing here. We are in the midst of our third rehearsal process and second remount. Hard to believe how far we've come since our first performance at Syracuse University in 2009. It's been a real gift to explore this text as much as we have. With each remount we sink deeper and deeper into Shakespeare's farewell piece.

We are enjoying new ensemble members, Julia Giolzetti and Laura Jernigan. They bring a vivacious new energy to the piece, which is just what we need as we look forward to our May performance.

Our latest endeavor as an ensemble will take place on April 23rd as each of us reads a sonnet for the Shakespeare Birthday Sonnet Slam in Central Park.

Check it out on Facebook:

Willful Pictures Presents a Shakespeare Sonnet Slam in honor of Will's birthday. Various readers will be reading aloud all 154 sonnets at the Bandshell in Central Park. This event is FREE.

This event will be videotaped under a SAG Agreement for possible inclusion of the doc: How Shakespeare Changed My Life.

...We will be reading Sonnets 121-127. Specific times to follow - but you can be sure to find us on April 23rd in Central Park's acoustically pleasing Bandshell.

Hope this post finds you readers well.

We will be in touch as more adventures reveal themselves!

Love,

TTL
