I’m obsessed with this vintage poster I found for my office. I guess the fighter pilot is fantasizing about being a Shakespearean actor?

Sharing my new article, "Queen Anna of Denmark, Prince Henry Stuart, and an Education in Masquing," out now in Ben Jonson Journal! It's about Anna's masque innovations artistic and political, and her thwarted efforts to pass that potent new form into the hands of her son. doi.org/10.3366/bjj....

Queen Anna of Denmark, Prince Henry Stuart, and an Education in Masquing | Ben Jonson Journal
This essay argues that Queen Anna of Denmark did not cease masquing in 1611 simply due to political marginalization or grief, but strategically to pass a powerful propaganda tool to her son, Prince He...

I've seen the David in Florence and stood before Guernica in Madrid. I caught Zero Mostel's Tevye and James Earl Jones in Fences. I've had the tasting menu at El Cellar, twice. But all of that was mere prelude to seeing Sonny Rollins close out jazzfest in New Orleans. God bless his immortal soul.

There is a program in Massachusetts where juvenile offenders are sentenced to performing Shakespeare traumaresearchfoundation.org/lets-get-to-...
Shakespeare in the Courts is a trailblazing scheme where juvenile offenders and those in need of special services work with Shakespeare & Company artists to rehearse Shakespeare as an obligation to the court.

Kevin was first approached to develop a theater program for students more than thirty years ago by Paul Perachi, then a principal of a local high school. Perachi went on to become the first presiding juvenile court justice in Berkshire County. During practice, he noticed that “these are the same kinds of kids I saw as a principal, they just come before me under different circumstances.”

Perachi thought that working with professionals at Shakespeare and Company would help teenagers develop self-esteem, communication skills, and anger management – he was right. The juvenile offenders perform and rehearse for three hours per day, four days a week, for six weeks. In return, they do not have to serve any time in a correctional facility.
