I was a Shakespeare fiend last summer. Click on my Theatre link for all the madness. Here’s the Bard line-up for this summer. A few of the productions have already started! http://www.shakespearebythesea.org/calendar.html A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Antony & Cleopatra. Venues all throughout Socal. http://www.independentshakespeare.com/box-office/box-office.htmlExcellent theatre company with attractive actors. Probably the best Shakespeare ensemble in [...] We saw Of Mice and Men at the Pasadena Playhouse. It was short and sweet (in a devastating way), probably the best play I’ve seen at the PP. The play was the book almost verbatim, with Spanish thrown in, and the acting was fine all around. Lenny was exactly what I pictured Lenny as. The [...] This Friday through Sunday (Oct 12,13,14), Pasadena’s celebrating the arts, with free activities on each night. There will be free museum admissions (Friday, 6-10pm), an arts market, band performances (Dengue Fever), theatre, and a Latino history parade. Wow! Pasadena is doing it up. Click here for the fantabulous schedule:www.pasadenaARTweekend.com If you haven’t OD’ed on Shakespeare yet, there’s one last hurrah happening in Pasadena at the Levitt this weekend and the next. It’s Henry V and it’s free. Details here. Sorry to be so brief here but after seeing three Shakespeare productions this summer, I’ve had enough for now. Till next summer Bard, till next time. The Barnsdall Arts Market is this Sunday, August 19th, from 11am – 5pm. MySpace profile for the market http://www.barnsdall.org/artcenter/default.cfm Afterwards, catch Richard II which starts at 7:30 pm. Free! Bring a picnic. Both events happen at the Barnsdall Arts Park4800 Hollywood BoulevardLos Angeles, CA 90027 Also, the Sunset Junction street festival is going on too. UnHip LA has been tracking a few events this summer, and here’s what’s up for this weekend, with links to my previous posts. The Really Really Free Market Saturday morning in Pasadena. The Independent Shakespeare Company performing Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Barnsdall. Shakespeare by the Sea performing The Merchant of Venice and The Taming of [...] Take a look at Shakespeare by the Sea’s free summer performance schedule. It’s nearly half over. http://www.shakespearebythesea.org/calendar.html The troupe roves all over So. Cal. and is making a pit stop in South Pasadena this Thursday, July 19, at Garfield Park, to perform The Taming of the Shrew. 7:00 pm 1000 Park AvenueSouth Pas, CA 91030 On August [...] I, however, get my great outdoors fix at all the night-time festivals happening in L.A. I caught Richard II tonight at Barnsdall. It’s not the perkiest of plays, but I did enjoy the performances of loony King Richard II, his steely cousin Henry IV, and the versatile actor who played Gaunt and other roles. Much [...] This was a wonderful night. I highly recommend Free Shakespeare in Barnsdall Park. The direction was assured; the performances lyrical and entertaining; the actors….hot. This is the first-time I’ve ever seen the Bard performed by ripped, shirtless male actors. Seriously, it was like Chippendales on iambic pentameter, but with great acting. I don’t think there [...]
My goal this summer is to hit every outdoor Shakespeare production in the So. Cal area. I am going to start with Barnsdall Art Park; they have a really great-sounding line-up performed by the Independent Shakespeare Co.: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Richard II, and Macbeth. Tonight (Saturday) is A Midsummer Night’s Dream at 7:30 pm. [...] |
