Hi Readers!

It's been a long time since we've read any Shakespeare, so to kick the school year off right, we'll be tackling all of his great plays in one evening. Not. Instead, on Sept. 1 we'll be reading excerpts from a number of his plays, loosely grouped under the heading of "Shakespeare Folk: Gentle- and Not so Gentle - Women and Men". The readings are primarily women-centric with soliloquies and scenes of celebration, teasing, romancing, and lamenting, singley and in couples. We'll meet Kate and Petruchio, Lady Anne and Richard of York, Gertrude, Hamlet, Pyramus and Thisby and various women who "wear the pants" to achieve their ends. You'll be able to really chew up the scenery in both dramatic and comedic scenes. I hope you'll join us -- just RSVP to me by next Tuesday 11 p.m.! (By the end of the evening you may know more than the average high schooler in Florida. 😈meow.)
