[Perform-Talk] Shakespeare Radio Play with an All Blind and VI Cast

[Katelyn MacIntyre]

Hi all,
This is a wonderful project forwarded to us by Marilee Talkington


Hoping this finds you healthy, safe, and maintaining some sanity during this time. 

All is well here, but I've been needing a little joy in my life lately and I've also been looking for ways to share some joy with others and with you, hopefully.  

So I decided to produce (and act in) a LIVE RADIO PLAY Reading of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM by William Shakespeare this SUNDAY, APRIL 26th 2:00pm  PST / 5:00pm EST on Mverse TV.  Find the details below. 

Midsummer is one of Shakespeare's iconic romantic comedies.  It's full of love, play, mischief, fairies, and magic! One of those good for the soul plays. 

This reading is another 1st of its kind adventure as well as I decided to cast all 15 roles with blind, low vision, and visually impaired artists.  We've been Zooming in to lightly rehearse from two countries and three time zones and It's been an extraordinary heart full experience of creativity, passion, and innovation. 

I hope you will join us and listen in for as long or as little as you like.  Let us sprinkle a little fairy dust on your Sunday afternoon. 

Please take care friends.  Hope we can all cross paths again very very soon!
