Our final weekend of Othello!

g

Event details: The Woodward Shakespeare Festival is pleased to present Shakespeare’s most harrowing tale of love - "Othello". This interpretation explores how society uses traditions, mores, and the underlying fear of the unknown to destroy outsiders, and sometimes, ourselves.

What people are saying about "Othello":

"...the character of Iago prompted a visceral response from the audience. At one point I thought that the woman sitting in front of me might have to be restrained from rushing the stage and slapping him." (Donald Munro, Fresno Bee)

"...James Taylor's Othello was strong and passionate. Elliot Montgomery's Roderigo was hilarious and sympathetic...The ensemble did great which is something Fresno tends to look over." ("Don", Fresno Beehive.com)

"...last night, I got to see what it ["Othello"] should be. It was fun. The acting was real...This was clearly a group of people who took their craft seriously, which I just plain didn't know I could see here in Fresno. Last night's Iago, Miles Villanueva, was really, really good. He may spoil the Iago's I will see later on. And Desdemona reminded me that watching Shakespeare does not always have to feel so ancient...I was reminded that this can be modern at moments too." (Courtney Campbell, Fresno Mindhub).

I heard a voice in the distance...

The voice yelled at me. USE YOUR XANGA! Why? I have no idea...I hope xanga isn't too angry at me...I'm going to use it to post some of the crappy poetry I've written...why not!

Trail of Tears

I veer into the darkness

I find a cold and distant shadow

There is familiarity

But it has changed.

They aren’t the same warm brown eyes

They seem frozen and distraught

It’s not the same brilliant welcome smile

It seems strained and aggrieved

Please come back to me

You’re hanging off the cliff

By just your fingertips

Ready to plummet into the pit of despair

LET ME SAVE YOU

Give me your hand,

Let me pull you up.

Give me your hand,

Let me keep you from harm.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND

Don’t fall to prove you don’t need anyone

You need someone

Let it be me

I’m watching you resist

“I’m fine.”

I’m watching you struggle

“I’m fine.”

I’m watching you HURT

“I’m fine.”

Let me help to mend

Let me help to save

Let me help to LOVE

I walk away

Struggling not to look back

If you manage to pull yourself up

And care to find me

Follow the trail of tears

- Real Life

Rumor has it...

Sally: Hey, Bobby, did you hear the news??

Bobby: No, what news?

Sally: About Danielle and Xanga!

Bobby: No! What's going on? Are they ok?

Sally: Well...I hear from a source that Danielle is thinking of leaving Xanga!!

Bobby: WHAT? Oh man...does Xanga know?

Sally: I dont know...I just know that shes been getting tired of Xanga and things just arent how they used to be...

Bobby: Wait...is there...someone else?

Sally: *now in a whisper* She's been seen with facebook quite a bit...but...shes been seen the most with...Myspace.

Bobby: Oh geez! Myspace? Really? I mean I've heard Myspace is good but...I didn't think it was that good...

Sally: I know...it's pretty sad because there just isnt a whole lot Xanga can do at this point ya know? I feel bad for Xanga...

Bobby: Yeah...me too.

...and Scene! 

Yeah I was bored.

I really am contemplating getting rid of xanga...but rather than delete it...because there are quite a few good little memories on this thing...I may just make one final post and then just not post anymore. I don't know I havent decided. Because this thing does come in handy when a show is opening, because then I can post the dates and everything on it. Although I do wonder how many people actually read these posts and how many of those will come see the shows. Plus...I can do that on Myspace and more people will see it...I dont know I have a lot of thinking and decision making to do. You've been good to me Xanga...we'll just see what happens.

I was at Starbucks with Tiffany and we were talking about this time last year and how different everyone/everything is. Isn't it ridiculous how much things can change in just one year? How personalities, beliefs, relationships, passions and so many other things can be so different. It's very interesting to me and I think about it a lot. It makes me wonder what things will be like June 20, 2007.

"Sunlight through the window
Across from your bed
Beauty is still
Can you see it?
What more can you want?
Is this real life?
Is this real life?"

-"Real Life"- Tick, Tick...Boom!"
