Frickin Shakespeare

Every year I take a group of studens down to the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City, Utah. I plan and carry-out the entire trip and after doing it for 5 years, it's getting easier and easier. This year there was one small snaffoo, but a fabulous time nonetheless. I believe all the girls who went had a very good time as well.

We went and saw 6 plays this year: Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Pride and Prejudice, Great Expectations, and Alfred Hitchcock's 39 Steps. All 6 plays were fantastic, but my favorite was 39 Steps. It was so funny that I wish I could have seen it a second time.

This year, they've appointed 2 new Creative Directors for the Festival and as part of the change, they were doing some kind of fundraising the week we were there. With these fundraising efforts, after each performace the actors and actresses would bid farewell to those who had attended the performance. Because of this, we were able to get many amazing pictures with many of the lead performers. It was really a great addition this year that we haven't been able to do so easily in the past.

It was a great trip, and we have another year down!
