Bards Eye View #10 - The Fall Repertory Company

Photo by Redd

The Fall Repertory Company of August and September here at the Tavern is a large one. There are so many people, actually, that you can't really even capture all of the Headshots in one image. It is nice to see so many different people around the Tavern, though it gets confusing when you aren't sure what show is playing that night.

Bards Eye View #9 - Patience is a Virtue

We have two rehearsal spaces here besides the theatre. Rehearsing plays is a time consuming process, and for the cast of Henry VI, some of our actors have to sit comfortably for a long stretch of time while scenes they aren't in are being blocked. We have a lot of comic book readers and gamers, as well as a pretty great magician so the rehearsal hall table is often littered with comics, books on card magic, graphic novels, coffee mugs and scripts.

Bards Eye View #8 - Your Hair is Everywhere

Although all of the women at the Tavern have great hair, it's often not quite Elizabethan enough, so the ladies wear wigs. Putting on one of our wigs does take a little time. Often the hair has to be pin curled, then a stocking cap goes over the curls and the wig is pinned in place. 

Wigs have to be maintained regularly to keep those fantastic curls and braids looking perfect.

Bards Eye View #7 - Serious Fire Safety

"We take fire safety very seriously here at the Shakespeare Tavern" is practically our motto here, and there are fire extinguishers all over the entire building. This vibrant splash of color is located in our upstairs Green Room. Our two Green Rooms (one upstairs and one downstairs) are the places where actors wait to go on stage between scenes. Filled with coffee makers, water coolers and couches, you will often find someone hanging out here after they have been beheaded or waiting to profess their undying love to a character they just met two minutes ago.

Our upstairs community bulletin board has many pictures on it, but this is my personal favorite. Highly appropriate, don't you think?
