Monday, May 4: AC Rakotoniaina (various staged readings; Chicago, IL): Hamlet - Claudius AND Hamlet

NOT SURE IF YOU'RE READY?
We get it! We have "artist" doubts daily, but here's the truth: your voice is important, your story is important!
No matter what art you practice, or how novice or advanced you might feel you are, it matters.
We have been lucky enough to work with a lot of artists, and luckier still to hear a lot of voices in our audiences. The beautiful thing about those audience voices? They are filled not just with a response to our voices, to Shakespeare's words and the timeless stories, they are filled with their own stories, their own words, their own voices. We miss all of these voices.
We miss your voice.
So shake off any doubt, any inner or outer voices that are telling you no, and take a chance, speak YOUR speech, share YOUR story.

​the time is ripe
