ARTS A LA CARTE LECTURE SERIES: OPTIMIST THEATRE

  • Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts 3270 Mitchell Park Drive Brookfield, WI 53045 (map)

Every Shakespeare production and performance is a "cover," so every potential producer benefits from strong script analysis and performance traditions, as well as the right and room to make original choices. Come hear Tom Reed, Associate Artistic Director of Milwaukee Free Shakespeare in the Park, and ML Cogar, company dramaturg, talk about how Optimist Theatre adapts Shakespeare for both audience and context. Along the way, try your hand at making and critiquing production choices for this summer's adaptation of Twelfth Night, Shakespeare's comedy of danger, disguise, and desire.
