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.
