Highlights from "A Renaissance Celebration", Atlantic Fringe Festival 2003
"All the world's
a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
William Shakespeare
In the summer of 2003 a group of kids and a Shakespeare-lovin' director took "A Renaissance Celebration" to the Atlantic Fringe Festival. It was a variety show of sorts set in the time of Elizabeth the First's reign. A Celebration of the peace between England and France, it featured period songs, dances, and poetry. Scenes from 3 of Shakespeare's best loved plays, comedic skits and original music entertained young and old and helped the audience to step back in time. The world premiere of the *Chicken Sonnet* was a delight. A living reminder of what you'll find in the depths of Shakespeare, if you give him a chance.
A special thank you to Kathleen Robson for her help in making "A Renaissance Celebration" a reality. And to Sandi Bond our thanks for the fabulous period costumes.
