How to perform Shakespeare
It made me
quite overjoyed! 
"The best summer of my life! (so far)"
How I did it: I worked withe my city's shakespeare festival over the summer, and it woas our job to dress up like elizabethan actors and roam the fields entertaining picnickers with our monologues! we had to train to learn how to talk, bow, and perform like real elizabethan actors. and, of course, we had the coolest costumes. :) it was so much fun!
Lessons & tips: Shakespeare is NOT as difficult as everyone makes him out to be; if you just listen to the words and the rhythm, its the most beautiful sound in the world! Just jump right in, and make the part your own; don't feel like you have to make it all prim and proper: Shakespeare loved crude jokes and puns-- most of his stuff is rather hilarious!
