Our Chicago debut was fraught with many challenges, the eternal struggle for a venue being chief among them. However, it was also host to many triumphs.<\/p>\n
Brian LeTraunik<\/strong>, heretofore known for bringing dull ramblers to life, danced between expert technique and relatable sincerity as Prospero.<\/p>\n D.C. Wright<\/strong> created a crowd-pleasing Friar in Much Ado<\/em> with infectious energy and verve, and gave me a whole new perspective on the incredibly hilarious Stephano in The Tempest<\/em>. The drunken butler was hands-down the comic champion of evening, a king among clowns.<\/p>\n Tiza Garland<\/strong>‘s bottomless well of energy and physical commitment simultaneously shamed and inspired her juniors (including me), leading us as a bouncy Beatrice and wrapping it up with a sinister Sebastian.<\/p>\n Zack Meyer<\/strong>, always an unparalleled actor, combined contemporary passion and classic discipline for the first time in an Unrehearsed show, in a performance that is still influencing the way we do Unrehearsed today.<\/p>\n And most importantly, it brought us to Chicago. It would be a whole year before we returned with Shrewthello in 2011, but Shakago (Much Ado & The Tempest) was the birth of a new era for Unrehearsed Shakespeare: artistically, professionally, and even scholastically.<\/p>\n
