...I also moderate some of the readings for the San Diego Shakespeare Society, which Kevin frowns upon, but I actually get a big kick out of.
Last month we had students from Grossmont College who were studying Romeo and Juliet for the first time. It was great. They were getting up and reading and really getting into it (especially
after I told them that the guys basically clown around and talk about sex the whole time). And then of course, we have solid actors like Steve Jensen doing amazing readings as Mercutio and Benvolio.
This one woman came up to me quietly during the break and asked if she might read the balcony scene as Juliet. She was thinking, when will I ever get the chance to play Juliet? And it was great. Sometimes the readings make for very special evenings. Would that be interesting for a piece?
