Our Summer Shakespearience
Contest is now closed. We had a lot of great entries and were quite
surprised with the large response we got. We are planning to bring this
contest back next year and have some other contests planned in the near
future so sign
up for contest announcements.
Here are the winners for
the 2008 Summer Shakespearience Photo Contest.
Winners will be receiving
their prizes in the mail in the next week.
1st
Place
1st place winner is Chelsea from Rogers, AK.
Shakespeare’s Den loved the artistic qualities of this
photo. We also appreciate the skill involved in getting a small child
to sit still long enough to get the photo taken.
This is what Chelsea wrote:
(Bonus Fun-Fact, the pictures were taken on the "island"
in the kitchen. Yes, indeed, pun intended.)
O Woe the day babysitting last week
When the air conditioning was broken
be hold the tragic lament of this lass
whose parents’ tribulations and their trial
for years marooned her to a wretched isle.
To be a slave under their spells and rule
as we when air was not circulating
thus from these tragedies combined there came
a photo to tell the tale all the days
The Tempest, one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays.
Place
2nd place winner is Kate from Denver, CO
What a wonderful group shot. You can only imagine the Summer
Shakespearience these folks have. It’s from the No Holds Bard Shakespeare
Company in Denver, CO.
This is what Kate wrote:
This is a photo of our Shakespeare at Civic Center Greek Theater festival
in Downtown Denver. It is from MacBeth. In the first folio text there
are 7 witches in act II. We use cue scripts and first folio technique
as developed by Patrick Tucker and Demi Papadinis. Great fun!
Place
3rd place winner is Christine from Groveland, MA.
Isn’t Shakespeare and "summer love" forever synonymous?
This kiss between Romeo and Juliet pretty much captures the spirit of
the play for us and we are sure these two actors will never forget their
summer Shakespearience.
This is what Christine wrote:
Attached is a picture of Ross Magnant as Romeo and Emma Behnke as Juliet.
Rebel Shakespeare Company Teen Intensive Program tour 2008 of "Romeo
and Juliet" took place in 10 sites in 6 cities in Eastern Massachusetts,
north of Boston.
Derby Square on the town hall steps was a beautiful and amazing place
to stage this story.
Mentions
we enjoyed:
Amanda from Havertown, PA
This be me dressed most excellently, see?
As a most grave pirate of stormy seas.
But wait, there’s more: that skull in my strong hand
Was giv’n me by a very famous man.
His name be Hamlet, met we upon this:
Attacked his ship did I as he did sail
To England, banishEd by his own mom!
(For sooth, I’m at the RenFaire in P.A.)
MJ from Lander, WY
King John and scheming Queen discuss an evil plan.
Jake from Sparks, GA
I started my Shakespeare sleeve. These are the first few pieces.
Yes, eventually my entire left arm will be covered in Shakespearean
imagery.
