1. Shakespeare!

I've recently been out spreading the word for the Recycled Shakespeare Company, reminding everyone that the 451st birthday of the great bard William Shakespeare will be celebrated on Waterville Main Street Thursday, April 23rd, with an all day event! Weather permitting we will start on the Concourse on the stage behind Barrels Community Market at 10 am. Join costumed readers and revelers as they parade down Silver Street to Main Street. At the REM Forum sonnets will be read and songs sung and the public is invited to bring lunch and enjoy the performance. At 1 pm the parading continues up Main Street to Selah Tea Cafe where more sonnets and entertainment will run from 2pm to 7pm. All 154 sonnets will be read throughout the day. Everyone is invited to sign up to read a sonnet or two or do a favorite Shakespearian monologue at either location. Last year we filled every slot and we hope to repeat the exhilarating success. All ages are welcome and no special talent is required. Please contact Emily Fournier at 314-8607 or recycledshakespeare@gmail.com if you would like to participate. Costumes are encouraged although not required. This is the second annual Shakespeare birthday celebration presented by the Recycled Shakespeare Company. This year's event will include a simulcast sonnet with St. Anselm College in New Hampshire which has been doing this festival for over 30 years!

Also coming up, auditions for the next Recycled Shakespeare Company​ play, "A Comedy of Errors", will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, April 14th and 15th,  from 4pm to 8 pm. Performances will be in June.
