In August, Blackwell Playhouse will be hosting a three weekend return of NFDC’s The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)!

Another YouTube video, this time from Act I, Scene 3 of All’s Well.

We have a Facebook Fan Page.

Auditions will be held on Monday and Tuesday, May 18th and 19th, from 6:30 pm to 9:30pm. Call backs will be held on Thursday, May 21st.

This video from All’s Well That Ends Well features Steve Banks as Lafeu, Ron Ogden as Parolles, and Josh Williams as Bertram.

We’ll be extending our run of All’s Well That Ends Well for two more nights: Friday, May 15th and Saturday, May 16th!

Photos from our second night of All’s Well performances have been uploaded to Flickr, so please take a look.

Secondly (and most curiously), the players will be strutting their hours upon a virtual stage at a rate of 140-letters a line.
