What its all about

Vermont Theatre Company is producing Shakespeare's Henry V for their 2012 Shakespeare in the Park. This is the first time one of Shakespeare's histories will be tackled by this community theater company.

This is the director's blog, where ideas will be brainstormed, shared, collaged, and collected. Feel free to comment, sharing your ideas and reactions!

Thanks for Coming to the Reading!

Hi all,

I just wanted to send out another thank you to everyone who participated today in the read.  Your positive energy, excitement, and respect for each other was truly an honor to have in the room!

As everyone left I had a great conversation with Jodi, who will be a fight choreographer for the show.  We have some great aspirations for battles.  Ian Bigelow also came as we were cleaning up.  He will be another person working on the violent aspects of the show.  We got very excited throwing around ideas, too!

So, just so you all know:  auditions for the play will be the week of January 8th.  I'll be requiring a short (12-20 lines) prepared/memorized Shakespeare monologue.  If anyone would like advice on selecting a monologue, or would like to know what roles I see them as candidates for, I'd be happy to chat  - call me at 802-380-5090.

Again, everyone did a great job today, and I thank you SOOO much for coming out!

Have a lovely holiday season,
Jess
