A NEW goal and it’s a dozy!

Last night I saw Intiman’s production of Othello and all I can I say is – BRAVO Intiman, BRAVO! This play made me remember how much I love Shakespeare. I used to live and breath it when I was a member of the Shakespeare in the Parking Lot acting troupe. I’ve been in numerous productions, but what I’m finding is that I have not seen many of them on stage, as they should be seen…

So I’m taking a page out of Brynn’s husbands play book where he tried to do 8 marathons in ’o8. My goal and it’s a loft one is this – from August 2009 to August 2010 I’m going to see as many of Shakespeare’s 37 plays that I have yet to see on stage... That means street performances, high school productions and festivals galore. Beware my friends because as you know being my friend means I inflict culture on you, more than you ever wanted or needed in your life. And if you see a Shakespeare play advertised, pass it on to yours truly.
