The Seven Acts of a
Shakespeare-Lover's Life
Written
and performed by Lisa Hajda
Directed by Stephen Buhler
Based on Jacques' seven ages of man speech
from As You Like It, this tribute allows us to follow a Shakespeare lover through the
seven--well, not quite--acts of her life as she light-heartedly recounts the ages.

The Idea of Actium
Written
and Performed by Hannah Clark
Directed by Sarah Lynn Brown
A queer woman teaches an example lecture on Antony & Cleopatra as she applies to work for a Catholic
college, one where her old flame also works. Woven
between the lecture and her memories, Actium
explores how love changes us all and the world we live in.

Troilus and Cressida:
The Musical
Written
and Performed by Paul Shaw
Directed by Ashley Kobza
Drew is an up and coming musical theatre writer
attempting to adapt a musical version of Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida for a local Shakespeare company. The only
problem is the play is a problem. As they lead the artistic
staff through their vision of the show, ideas come
together, dissonance becomes harmony, and an act of
creation will force Drew to reckon with their fear of
the unknown and the vulnerability of the creative process.

Broadguess
Written
by Dee Ryan
Performed by Fred Vogel
Directed by Summer Lukasiewicz
Something's rotten in Denmark and Verona and
Scotland and Messina and the Forest of Arden and that
storm-drenched heath, but our hardscrabble detective,
Sergeant Broadguess, is on the case! The evidence and the
plot thicken quicker than you can say "when Birnam Wood comes to
Dunsinane!"

Feminine Endings
Written
and Directed by Sarah Lynn Brown
Performed by Vivian Parr
Serving as a prologue for a larger work, this
piece provides an introduction to Shakespeare's Feminine Endings
and Femme Characters, bringing a playful and slightly irreverent
take on literary scholarship.
This
work reminds us:
- not to take ourselves too
seriously,
- not to hide ourselves (and our
stories) in the dark, and
- not to let anyone assign
what characters we are allowed to embody.
All of Shakespeare. Is. For. All of us.
