Coachella Valley Shakespeare
Shakespeare's Birthday Fest!
Barnes & Noble Palm Desert
April 21-29, 2018
Hear Ye, Shakespeare Lovers!
Green Room Theatre Company/Coachella Valley Shakespeare launches a new, nine-day Shakespeare event at Barnes & Noble between April 21 and 29, 2018. The event is built around five evening readings of The Merchant of Venice with professional actors, directed by John Alex Houlton.
We will fill the evenings and weekend mornings and afternoons with a variety of site-specific presentations, including songs, sonnets, soliloquies, and two-to-four person scenes. The latter can be in either the original language, or updated English, OR a Spanish translation.
If you are interested in participating, you must commit to the mandatory planning meetings, to be held in the Community Room of the Palm Desert Library. Actors will rehearse on their own.
Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 24 from 10:30 AM to Noon.
The third and final meeting is Saturday, April 7 from 10:30 AM to Noon.
On that day all presentations must be performance-ready in order to be considered for the fest.
The festival will then organize a calendar of performances based on the availability of your performance-ready scenes, and you will be able to perform them one or several times during the nine-day event.
