Completed - 3 Plays
67. Go to 3 plays (5/11/19)
I love plays and, as you can see from the plays I went to, I also LOVE Grassroots Shakespeare! Initially I wanted to go to a variety of plays, but then I discovered Grassroots and that's what I ended up watching. No regrets at all. I still have a gift certificate to see something at the Hale, so eventually I'll get around to seeing a musical or something. But for now, I'm planning when to go see Grassroots' summer shows haha :)
1. A Midsummer Night's Dream - Grassroots Shakespeare (5/19/18)
This play was SO FUN. This company tries to do Shakespeare the way it was done originally (no director, actors buy own costumes, outside, audience interaction, not much rehearsal, etc.) and they were amazing! I enjoyed every minute and am still thinking about it weeks later. I've also never read or seen this play before and it was a great first experience. Reading it will definitely be more fun now, but I don't know if I'll be able to watch it any other way!
2. Much Ado About Nothing - Grassroots Shakespeare (1/18/19)
I was so excited to go to this play and it did not disappoint! I had never read this play before, so I read the Sparknotes before and I think it really helped me to understand it all. As with the first Grassroots show we went to - the actors were amazing, we were laughing the whole time, and I don't think I can watch Shakespeare any other way! Plays are the best.
3. Romeo & Juliet - Grassroots Shakespeare (5/11/19)
This was a 4-person production of Romeo & Juliet, so I was very interested to see how it would turn out. Let me tell you how it turned out - FANTASTIC. The casting, acting, and character changes were hilarious. I also feel like I experienced/understood it better than I ever have. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think I can watch Shakespeare any other way. I always leave their shows smiling, uplifted, and wanting to read Shakespeare.
I think that making the arts a priority are important, and I plan to keep making them so in my life :)
