Join us at kibbitznest on Wednesday, October 16 at 7PM for our kick-off to Season 10 when we re-explore Romeo and Juliet, play a little trivia, and make masks and roses (if you want).
Fun is free, kibbitznest will be serving your libation needs all evening (much better tonics than what the apothecary offers up), and the celebration is rounded out with cast members new and old and all things in between! |
Stone Soup's October!
Our 10th Season starts this month! In Season TEN we explore home, what is it, what can it be, where is it and why do we yearn for it somedays and wish to run away from it others. We begin with a reading of Romeo and Juliet at kibbitznest in Chicago on Wednesday, Oct 16. The first play we toured is our own "home" coming as we explore its comedy and tragedy and how its relevance has changed, altered, heightened and evolved in the ten years since we first examined this text. A continued thanks to so many people who have donated throughout Season 9! We're still working to hit our tour goal with our DonorBox Campaign and we're still collecting donations through everyday Amazon shopping's SMILE foundation (please: shop local, but...if you see the perfect Halloween costume online, think of us while shopping and use our SMILE account) . Keep reading with our Book Club, re-live the magic of Tour 9 with our new Twelfth Night photo gallery, join us for all of the readings and start prepping to make Elsinore your home as we move towards Tour 10's Hamlet! Remember: have a great day and remember to keep letting us know what you're seeing while you wait for us to visit you "in your backyard!" |
BOOK CLUB CONTINUES!
For perfect entrance into autumn, it's time to read the tenth book of the year: Tempestuous by Kim Askew. This delightful novel is age appropriate for the teen in us all, but fun enough for everyone to happily revisit their teenage selves long enough to pop back to days of walking the mall not for physical fitness but for pure social status (note: we've heard visiting mall is retro cool now so...take that how you will - we rehearsed in one and are all about the retro).

Stone Soup Shakespeare is headed home. Season TEN is all about how home become home and how Shakespeare's words (which are home to us) explore the concepts of home, homecoming and home making.
Other fun this season includes workshops for the young and young at heart, readings in new cities (we're looking at you Twin Cities!), school trips, adventures combining salt and pepper and Shakespeare and of course Tour 10: Hamlet.
As we unfold details we encourage you to ask questions and say hi. Find us on Facebook, Instagram or drop us a line at info@stonesoupshakespeare.com. We are always looking for new collaborators, new backyards and new ideas.
