It’s been a minute since @tylerjulianmoss added a #MonologueMonday post but here he is reading Kent off his screen as he rails at Oswald.

Thank you, Sarah Fallon for the suggestion. We’re always open for more suggestions. Whatever you like, we’ll try it out.

"New York is hard enough..."

Twice a week actors, directors, producers, and artists from all walks of life come together to work and play with the words of Shakespeare. Okay, so sometimes it’s not Shakespeare, but the spirit of exploration is ever-present as we delve into the text, challenging ourselves and each other to grow and change. It's a space to play and to help each other. We hope you can make it out!

Our Open Workshops are not about the money, they're about resurrecting the true artist spirit- an open heart, a sense of humor, and a belief that we are stronger when we are together.

This Giving Tuesday, we are so thankful that we have been able to continue some of our longest-running programs, even in the midst of a global pandemic.

But there is so much more educational work we want to do.

We are in an educational emergency, and we believe that Shakespeare Forum needs to focus more than ever on using our mission to help kids learn how to work with each other in person again, to have some chance of stabilizing themselves and even catching up.

There is only one way we will be able to do more, and that is with your support. We need your help to make that possible. Please support the Shakespeare Forum as part of your #GivingTuesday.

💉Proof of vaccination required💉
😷Masks will be required at all times😷
This Sunday at 3pm!
Just like the tools found in Shakespeare's verse can unlock personal choices in the text, immersing ourselves in classic clown structures can unlock deep emotional truths. We give ourselves permission to feel and fear and express all of this from our inner most selves to the tips of our toes.
This class is suggested donation and goes towards our fundraiser to support our student programming this year!

Come play with the heartbeat of Shakespeare's verse! Scansion can reveal a whole scope of opportunities for actors and directors to make specific, personal choices in their work. You'll learn how to scan Shakespeare’s verse, identify metrical feet, and how their structure can reinforce your technique. In this single-session workshop, you’ll build the knowledge and confidence to dive into Shakespeare’s words. Over two hours, we’ll explore the fundamentals of verse, work through examples, and answer your questions. You will also receive a detailed packet about scansion that you can use for the years to come!

Tuesday night Open Workshops are here!

Tomorrow at 8pm ET is our first in-person workshop since February 2020!

We will be outside in the backyard of El Barrio's Artspace, 215 E 99th Street.

A few housekeeping things:
- because we are outside masks are not required, but because of climbing rates of transmission, they are strongly encouraged.

- We need to leave the backyard by 9:50pm, so the bar will be opening in the backyard at 7:30pm every Tuesday that we are outside, so come out a little early and chat with us!

We will see you all tomorrow!

All the Forum merch will be on sale plus a new goodie!⁠
We will even set aside some time for people to get up and speak words - whether that is a monologue (Shakespeare or otherwise) or whatever you need to say out loud as the world reopens. We just ask that you keep it to 2 minutes or less. There will no facilitation to this - it is just about getting up and speaking out loud to other humans.⁠
To maximize the number of friends that can come, please only register for one slot. The space will be closed between slots for cleaning and resetting!

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare!⁠
⁠
Though this is just a small snippet of our community, Shakespeare's birthday reminds us how far and wide our community reaches and how one Elizabethan man brought us all together! Through him, there have been marriages, roommates, new companies, art of all kinds, and a community like no other.⁠
⁠
So, here's to the Bard, without whom the Shakespeare Forum wouldn't exist.🥂🎉🍾

Happiest of birthdays to our Founder & Artistic Director, @tylerjulianmoss! A few of us get to celebrate him in person today, so we're celebrating here today too!!! (His birthday was actually on Thursday, so better late than never.)⁠
⁠
Tyler, who'd have thought there would be ANOTHER pandemic birthday? We hope it was and is the best it could possibly be. As we're coming up on 12 years of Shakespeare Forum, we really want to celebrate you and your spirit of play and exploration that has brought us all together. You're the reason this community exists and we are ever so grateful for that.⁠
⁠
We love you dearly & deeply. Happy Birthday! 🎂 🎈 🎉

Happy Birthday, Whitney!!!⁠
You are, without a doubt, our lighthouse. You keep us moving. You guide our paths. You make sure we hit as few rocks as possible along the way. ⁠
If anyone doesn't know, Whitney is basically the reason Shakespeare Forum runs. She takes care of almost everything from payroll to renting our space to scheduling to talking with teachers and students about classes. Pretty much, if you name it, she's done it. There's so much Whitney does that people don't see.⁠
Thank you, Whitney, for being you and for caring for us all these years. We love you and we hope your birthday is filled with as much joy as it can be.

Happy Birthday, Whitney!!!⁠
You are, without a doubt, our lighthouse. You keep us moving. You guide our paths. You make sure we hit as few rocks as possible along the way. ⁠
If anyone doesn't know, Whitney is basically the reason Shakespeare Forum runs. She takes care of almost everything from payroll to renting our space to scheduling to talking with teachers and students about classes. Pretty much, if you name it, she's done it. There's so much Whitney does that people don't see.⁠

It’s Giving Tuesday. We know that people are struggling, that the world has been turned upside down. Like all small theatre companies, we are struggling too. If you can give, even the smallest amount, we will be forever grateful - your donation will help us keep our doors open and help our school programming. We are here on Tuesdays no matter what, and we hope to be able to hold you all close soon. We love you all.
