In response

Mary...again.
So I just figured out how to look at the comments people have put on the blog, and now I can start commenting on other people's stuff. Not my bright-shiniest moment, but I figured I could use this chance to respond to some of the comments.
1-Some people have signed their comments, some haven't. This is true on everyone's posts as well. Since there are two people to every blog, can you please, pretty please sign the comments and posts? That way I know who I'm talking to.
2-I didn't say the music from my sister's production was annoying. I just got sick of hearing it after a month of them practicing it a cappella.
3-The website for the NSF (which was the first thing on the Google search) is
www.nebraskashakespeare.com
To access every part, you might need to sign up for the newsletter. I think it is free, so you may want to think about signing up.

That's all the responses I have for the comments on the page. Thanks for watching...reading...whatever...!

Nebraska Shakespeare Festival

Mary again.
Every year the Nebraska Shakespeare festival holds Shakespeare on the Green. For those of you who are not familiar with this event, it is held at Elmwood park, just off the UNO campus (you actually have to use UNO parking, but whatever). They put on two plays, usually a tragedy and a comedy, but this past year they did Henry V. It was extremely well-done.
This year's plays are Much Ado About Nothing and King Lear. Google the topic and look at pictures and information about the plays and the organization.

Another way to get materials

Mary here.
If you click on the title of this entry, you will find yourself at the Gutenberg Project website, which has the largest collection of eBooks available (or something like that). This can be handy if you want to make an argument based on another of Shakespeare's plays that are not included in the text. The site is relatively easy to navigate, and downloads are FREE! This way you have another way to get materials, like other plays, without having to go out and buy them. The site won't have everything, but it does have almost everything that is in the public domain.
If the title clicker doesn't work, the website address is www.gutenberg.org
