Tent Talk HVShakespeare

Back in July 2020, Christopher Edwards, Artistic Director of Actors’ Shakespeare Project and HVSF veteran, Sara Holdren, Artistic Director of Shakespeare Academy at Stratford, and Eric Ting, Artistic Director of California Shakespeare Theater, joined HVSF’s Davis McCallum to discuss the role of classical theater now, and in the future. How do plays written by a dead white man over 400 years ago speak to our world today? Does Shakespeare truly belong to everyone? Listen back to this group of theater leaders offer their perspectives and opinions in our Tent Talk episode.

In anticipation of our upcoming HVSF2 development reading series launching August 13, acclaimed playwrights Will Power, Heidi Armbruster, and Erin Shields join HVSF's Sean McNall to talk about what draws them to adapt specific authors and how they have recontextualized classic stories for today.
