BDS Tempest

Richard was involved with the Hartford Stage performance of Breakdancing Shakespeare - The Tempest. Originally, we signed him up for a summer "camp" program for technical theater but it was cancelled due to lack of enrollment. Instead, they invited the three kids to become "Student Tech Interns" for the performances.  Richard went to two rehearsals and two shows. The day of the show, 8/8/11 was a very long day that started at 8 a.m. and didn't end until about 10 p.m.   Lynn attended the 6 p.m. performance and had a great seat-about 4 rows from the stage. Alas, she found the play to be almost incomprehensible. Ironically, about a year ago, Richard and I attended an outdoor performance of "The Tempest" in Stratford. We left after the first act because we could not follow the action, even with the script. Nonetheless, BDS was a good experience for Richard to work in a professional environment with access to theatrical professionals.
