| Full house at University of Akron! |
The first, full six-day week of performances is almost at an end. Our gentlemen have performed
The Globe across all counties, from Oberlin to
Cah-hoga Falls, with stops at libraries and retirement communities, for one audience of nine earlier this week to a packed room at the University of Akron Student Union Thursday afternoon.
Every couple of years Great Lakes has had the opportunity to present the outreach tour as part of the university's annual
Shakespeare In The Spring programming, and were all delighted to learn there would be cake.
During the performance, one of our hosts was inspired to create an impromptu sign, reassuring students that the meatballs were harmless:
 |
| Get it? If not, you haven't seen the show yet. |
We had a great discussion afterwards, debating whether the show does or does not include ghosts, and James contributed to the eternal humiliation of John Fletcher.

| Down at The Globe. |
Response to this new work has been very positive, and there were dudes at the show yesterday who were virtually crying during the dance scenes. Here are some random comments from the U of A:
Q: What did you enjoy most about today's performance:
"The entire performance was outstanding."
"The actors are just funny guys."
"The jokes about (Cardinal) Wolsey."
The Wolsey bits? They're the best part of the show!
Many thanks to Dr. Hillary Nunn who coordinated our tour stop, and all those who organized the event, it was a beautiful Spring-like day in so many ways. The van is loaded up, and today we wrap up this second week of the tour at the Cleveland Sight Center at 1 PM. Join us!
