Help Me Bring Shakespeare to Others
Donation protected
I reached my goal right before the December 1st deadline, have turned in my tuition, and am going to Shakespeare & Company's month-long intensive in January! Thank you all who supported me!!
You are the village that made this baby happen!!
The Shakespeare event was a huge success:
Come celebrate art with me on November 20th, at A Night of Shakespeare, Music, and Theater! This is my grand finale to this wonderful campaign!
Watch the promo video here!
Thanks so much!!
Howdy! I am an artist and teacher. In the world of Shakespeare, this summer I performed the title character in RICHARD III, while teaching/directing at a children's Shakespeare camp in Maine! I also taught Shakespeare in college literature classes.
As an artist/teacher, I have found Shakespeare can teach us so much today (about ourselves, our society, and hard topics like sexism, racism, classism, etc ), and have decided to learn more so I have more to bring back to the community at large!
With that, I was recently accepted into Shakespeare & Company's month-long intensive this coming January! Here's where you come in. I took their weekend intensive earlier this year, and learned so much in three days; I know I will gain invaluable connections to The Bard with this month! I am a working actor, however, making enough to live and not a whole lot more - and this wonderful program is beyond my personal financial capabilities. With the $4500 tuition, travel fees, and paying for NYC rent while I'm gone, I feel the $7000 should help to cover the expenses without my diving further into debt.
I want to help and inspire others, and I know the words of Shakespeare have been able to do just this for the past 400 years! The more I know, the more I can bring to various educational experiences, and the more I can bring to my characters on stage! And you can help me achieve this!
For donations of $100 or more: I'll read the donor a sonnet of Shakespeare's.
For donations of $200 or more: A sonnet + I'll memorize, recite, and record a soliloquy of the the donor's choice.
For donations of $500 or more: Sonnet + Soliloquy + I'll give the donor a private Shakespeare workshop of the donor's choice!
Some Treats I released for goals
met throughout the campaign:
Duke Orsino's "If music be the food of love..."
Dogberry's "I am an ass..."
Richard III's Coronation Scene
Richard III's Coronation Scene (part II)
Richard III's "Now is the winter..."

Words on the Shakes & Co Intensive, from my former professor at ASU, amazing actor, director, artist, Victoria Holloway:
"I attended the very first January intensive. A life changing experience. Went back years later for a second intensive. Equally great. Please give my regards to Tina Packard et'al. You'll love every minute."
So Excited!
