Spontaneous Shakespeare Sundays
 
Our summer Shakespeare program is up and shaking! Come join us on Sunday afternoons this summer in Central Park as we explore the “original” spontaneous technique to putting on a Shakespeare show!  In Shakespeare's day, actors were given "cue scripts" which included only an actor's own lines plus the three cue words preceding his lines-- insuring that actors would stay on their toes! This summer, watch 6 actors recreate this spontaneous approach to the Bard, while members of the audience are invited into the play with cue scripts for cameo roles. Audience members are also encouraged to "speak the speech" to familiar text, boo and cheer their favorite characters, and create haunting ghosts and jeering crowds. Families are encouraged to attend. Join us Sundays at 2pm in Central Park, off the 72nd Street cross-over near Bethesda Fountain. Look for the Purple Flags!
