...This annual SIMON STUDIO celebration event is an environmental performance collage - scenes, songs, music and dance by William Shakespeare, featuring current studio members, alumni and special guests from The Players Club, film, Broadway and London stage worlds.
Off-Off Broadway Review: "... an impressive group of scenes, using every inch of the expansive room, as well as audience members, as part of the ambiance... a ‘60’s style street theatre environment, (where) audience members wandered in and out and photographers documented the performance. Strict homage was paid to the Bard’s language, with vivid, highly physicalized portrayals by all. Actors of all shapes, sizes and ages were encouraged to share their talents, eschewing the youth-oriented look of many recent Shakespearean productions. Director Roger Hendricks Simon is to be congratulated for his dedication to the inclusion of all types of talented actors, and the large, enthusiastic crowd obviously agreed." $10. suggested donations accepted for our John Palmore/Frankie Dee Scholarship Fund.
