Just a short note to say what a great success Free Willy was, and how extraordinarily proud I am of all my little thespians! Last night in front of surprising large audience-- who were all those people?-- Every single actor took a leap and landed on their feet!
You all served the text, the audience followed the story and they were clearly engaged every step of the way. Bravo!
It has been my honor and pleasure to work with each of you and I thank you all for your hard work. I hope you had fun. I know I did.

Your Job This Week
You need to continue to meet with your scene partner and read together. You need to continue to read out loud on your own without your partner. None of these scenes requires more then 5-8 minutes to read out loud. Heck, you can do that at least once a day. Right?
Come Monday I expect everyone to be FLUENT with their scenes. You don't need to memorize it, but you do need to be able to navigate the text--- by this, I mean you need to know what it is you are saying and be able to say it without stumbling over word choice or pronunciation. If you have questions about what is going on in your scene, what a word or phrase means or how it is properly pronounced, write it down and make sure we address it in class.
I look forward to seeing how far everyone has come by next Monday!

Flyer for Free Willy!
See what seven "regular people" can do with scenes from one of Shakespeare's most problematic plays, Measure for Measure, and eight weeks hard labor guided by workshop leader, Althea Hukari. Students ranging from age 17 to 70 will tackle their first major Shakespearean roles before your very eyes. Great courage + great poetry = great drama. All from the workshop that dares to ask: Are you ready for a heightened experience?
