Today we're spotlighting two of our Soliloquy Stroll actors, Doug Durlacher and Emily Schuman. Doug plays the Porter from MACBETH and Emily plays Philip the Bastard from KING JOHN. Did the Stroll sell out before you got the chance to get your tickets? You can still purchase an online recording of the event at bit.ly/onlinestroll.
Check out this article from Town Square Delaware about the Soliloquy Stroll! Honorary Producer Laurel A. Riegel comments: “It all goes back to...Delaware Shakespeare’s mission and vision, which is to bring ... all aspects of our community together to enjoy Shakespeare as they did so long ago.” While the in-person Soliloquy Stroll is sold out, you can still purchase an online video recording of the Stroll at delshakes.org!

Soliloquy Stroll: A bit of Shakespeare makes it into Rockwood Park after all

Superfan Laurel Riegel: 'I hope in addition to the picnic every year and the performance, maybe we can get the stroll in as well."Sonnet 100!!!! Sonnet 100!!!! Sonnet 100!!!! J Hernandez brings you the centennial sonnet - and with it, a connection to Hoobastank.
Oh man, it’s a little depressing that we’ve reached sonnet 100. When we started recording a sonnet each weekday, we thought maybe we have to get up to sonnet 50 or so before we could gather in person again. But we’re still going, and hopefully seeing J will make you feel better.
If you are enjoying the sonnets, we could use your help to keep going. We’ve sold enough “tickets” to The Sonnet Project to fund about another 10-12 sonnets. And there’s 54 more to go!
We invite you to support The Sonnet Project by buying a “ticket” at sforce.co/2JtQkex. For each $30 in purchases, Del Shakes will pay an actor to record a sonnet. Help Del Shakes get more guest actors like J recording sonnets - support artists while getting some fun daily Shakespeare.
