William Shakespeare is celebrated around the world for his unparalleled ability to bring unforgettable characters to the stage.  Less known, and therefore less lauded, are the 154 sonnets penned by the famous playwright as ruminations on life and love.   

While the muses that ignited Shakespeare’s passionate poetry are obscured by the mists of time, the enduring brilliance they inspired, and the resulting sonnets penned to them, celebrate everlasting love that transcends human frailty.

Please join Actor and Director Johnny Kinsman in an exploration of Shakespeare’s sonnets, and a discussion of how an actor might use inflection, imagery, and meter to lift these versatile poems from page to performance.
