Curtain Call - Summer Shakespeare 2008

Congratulations to the 2008 Summer Shakespeare Ensemble! Two different casts of Julius Caesar performed on Friday, August 1, 2008. Both the 12 noon and 1:30pm shows were completely sold out. In addition to the full houses, there was a television crew at each showing. The ensemble showed their professionalism under pressure and performed exceptionally well in both shows.

After watching the actors perform, the audience had the opportunity to hear the young artists talk about their experience over the past four weeks. The audience asked questions about the group experience, the challenge of speaking complex language and what kind of backgrounds the actors come from. If the audience was impressed with the level of performance that they saw onstage, their experience was enhanced by the incredible eloquence of the artists in the post-performance feedback. They spoke movingly and articulately about their time together over the past four weeks, their experiences as artists and their growth as human beings. Congratulations on a job superbly done!
