The Boyceville Public Library is pleased to present “To Be! Shakespeare Here and Now” on Monday, February 11th at 6:30pm. The show is a one-person interactive presentation, featuring actor Ron Fry as William Shakespeare. Dynamic interpretations of excerpts from some of Shakespeare’s most famous works are combined with a humorous look at life in Renaissance England. The program also includes plenty of opportunities for audience members to star alongside The Bard of Avon.
“To Be!” is …
- Dynamic – Shakespeare is performed by a professional first-person actor who also happens to double as a stunt-man, college teacher, fire-eater, clown, improv-artist, and jouster.
- Interactive – All ages and learning levels have the opportunity to take the stage, speak Shakespeare’s words and have a great time doing it.
- Humorous – Shakespeare knew how to use laughter to reach his audience, and “To Be! Shakespeare Here and Now” continues in this glorious tradition. The Renaissance was a fun time and learning about it through “To Be!” is even more fun.
Ron Fry is the founding Artistic Director of Optimist Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was the Artistic Director for the Bristol Renaissance Faire for 19 years. “To Be!” has been enjoyed by more than 60,000 people since its debut in 1993.
