This is my third and final fall play. I have been so fortunate to work with great casts and I will forever remember these shows as fun, and challenging, but challenge is a good thing. If you know me, I like to keep things fast, and energetic. With this show I had to learn how to slow down to process the Shakespearian language that I somehow memorized, still not sure how I did that :). If you're reading this, I'd like to thank you. It's the never ending support of this community that fuels each and every one of our cast members. Enjoy the show!
