The Shakespeare Festival at
Tulane (New Orleans): According to Brad Robbert, operations
director, "the Shakespeare Festival at Tulane is a professional theatre company
in residence at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. Founded in 1993, it is
the only professional theatre in the Gulf South region dedicated to performing
the works of William Shakespeare."
File under: Better Late Than Never. For the month of September Only: Shakespeare on the Rocks, in El Paso, Texas. "This season we are reprising our productions of the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the ever-popular A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the timeless political drama Julius Caesar, and magical The Tempest. The festival has now been rebuilt to its full complement of four shows, which are being performed in repertory from the outset. We will also host the Renaissance Fair on the final three nights, September 26-28."
Stop now, and watch this brief video from Voice of America about a truly inspirational teacher whose 9-year old students at Hobart Elementary in Central L.A. learn and perform Shakespeare. Not to be missed! Pay special attention, school board members, to what Mr. Esquith has to say about music! "Children that play music, children that learn music, are learning about things that have nothing to do with music. They're learning about listening, practice, discipline, working as a collective team..." They are: the Hobart Shakespeareans!
