Sonnet 87
Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate,
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;
My bonds in thee are all determinate.
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting?
And for that riches where is my deserving?
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,
And so my patent back again is swerving.
Thy self thou gavest, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me to whom thou gav'st it else mistaking;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgement making.
Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.

performed by director and actress Jessi May Stevenson

Yesterday's show in Thousand Oaks (thanks to our host Sarah Boughton) was the best of the run so far... I CAN'T WAIT to see how this cast (which includes Sarah, Lauren Rachel, Scott Blanchard, Stan McConnell, Adam Womack, Sindy McKay-swerdlove, Christopher Robin, and Theresa Secor) slays it next weekend in Simi Valley.
I know I'm biased, but I think this is a fun, entertaining ride, and I would hate for any of my friends to miss it!!!

Due to an unforeseen occurrence, the FREE performance of 7-Player Cymbeline, scheduled for Saturday, July 31, in Oxnard has been postponed to Saturday, August 28. The new date's performance will still be performed in Oxnard and--of course--will still be FREE!

Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Holy moly, people. Take 50 minutes to watch and listen to this. A mixture of @laopera , shadow puppetry by the brilliant @manual_cinema and narration. And incredibly inspirational.
Be afraid, audiences, be very afraid… Billy’s getting inspired again.

But we need your help...your sweat and elbow grease!
This Saturday, July 10, meet us at the Elite, for a clean-up day, as we clear and clean the main stage for next week's auditions and subsequent rehearsals for Salvatori! We also need to prep the house and lobby for guests (for the first time in over a year)!

As we near the half-way point of the year--and thus, of the Sonnet Project--we've still got a handful of poems that need readers/performers/filmmakers (and many with deadlines next month!).
Help us out!
We'll post the six sonnets in the comments below... if you're interested, reply to the comment of the sonnet you'd like to read... then we'll get in contact with you with details!

Wanted to try something a little different with this one... so many times, we focus on the writer/speaker of the poem... this one really calls for a real-time depiction of the object of the sonnet... especially as it goes south!

Thank you so much, @aileenmariescottacts , for being such of wonderful object of "praise"!!!

Sonnet 69
Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view
Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;
All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
Uttering bare truth, even so as foes commend.
Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd;
But those same tongues, that give thee so thine own,
In other accents do this praise confound
By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.
They look into the beauty of thy mind,
And that in guess they measure by thy deeds;
Then, churls, their thoughts, although their eyes were kind,
To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds:
But why thy odour matcheth not thy show,
The soil is this, that thou dost common grow.

read and performed by actor, director and educator Bill Walthall and actress and director Aileen-Marie Scott
