Today, You Get to Act: An “Idiot” Clown Shows us the Shakespearean Truth 

Welcome to one of my very first podcast recordings. I’m dreaming of warmer weather and fun with friends so join me in a conversation this summer past in San Diego at the Old Globe with the amazing Jake Millgard, an actor, director, fight choreographer, acting teacher, and much, much more. We will be talking about the levels of accessibility to Shakespeare, the Old Globe as they finished producing ALL of Shakespeare’s plays this summer (a rare and amazing feat), the histories (as the red-headed stepchildren of Shakespeare’s works), and locating outsiders in Shakespeare’s plays. We will discuss some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays and characters, and Jake will give some advice to actors that you don’t want to miss!  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! www.theshakespeareanshrew.com  https://www.youtube.com/@ShakespeareanShrew  Please follow us on Instagram: @theshakespeareanshrew TikTok: @theshakespeareanshrew The new season of shows for OSP is available here!  Please donate to OSP: https://www.okshakes.org/donate Thank you for listening!
