In Thanksgiving Spirit

This summer, Dalvero Academy went on a drawing trip to the Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, MA. There, one can visit the Pilgrims' settlement, and the Wampanoag homesite.The actors who work for this "location" museum never go out of character, and they clearly enjoy what they do.  It was the closest thing to time travel I've experienced.

Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" by New York Classical Theatre

“Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all!
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall” 

~William Shakespeare, "Measure for Measure"

 

Here are some reportage drawings from this summer's staging of "Measure for Measure" by New York Classical Theater at the Battery Park. This is their 16th season, and if you haven't been lucky yet to catch one of their performances (which are free to attend, and take place in Manhattan and Brooklyn parks), the best way to describe them is to quote The New York Times: "a movable feast! All the park's a stage!"

In New York Classical Theater's panoramic productions,  the audience is prompted to get up and follow actors to a new location  about every 10 minutes or so. It's such a fun way of experiencing classical plays! The actors are hysterical, the costumes are beautiful, and Shakespeare is...timeless.

To make bad good, and good provoke to harm."
