The Bard’s Birthday Celebration
In the Munk's beautiful garden
Sunday, April 19, 2009 Shakespeare's 445th Birthday
Featuring - Faves and Raves
Some of Shakespeare's most beautiful, poetic, dramatic, funny, silly, dark, desperate, moderate and chaotic moments. These best loved scenes and speeches were brought to life by some of San Diego's finest and most versatile performers. Anthony Hamm, Steve Jensen, Sunny Smith and Vanessa Dinning performed scenes from Hamlet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry V, As You Like It... and the list goes on. Faves and Raves was conceived by the San Diego Shakespeare's Society's Writer In Residence, Dave Wiener as a spearhead piece for the Society's Shakespeare Prescription Program.

Featuring - Romeo and Juliet Deconstructed
A director and four actors ask. . . What if our play were set in Belfast, or Baghdad,or Brooklyn? What if we scored it with Beethoven, or Beatles, or Blues? The results promise to be both entertaining and enlightening!! "It was such a gorgeous day yesterday, in such an idyllic setting....Mike and his cast did an outstanding job that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. They made us proud!"
