The Show Must Go Online, created by actor-writer-director Rob Myles and producing partner Sarah Peachey, brings together a global cast to perform Shakespeare’s plays live and online every week in the order they were believed to have been written, for free. Each show is cast, produced and rehearsed in under a week. The first show went live on 19th March, and was the first online Shakespeare performance produced in response to Covid-19. Since launching, over 200 actors and creatives have been involved in bringing 13 shows to life.

Seattle-based actor, Gilly Kelleher, will be playing the Nurse in the SMGO’s production of Romeo and Juliet at 11am on Wednesday, May 27.

Canceling the 2020 season has very real financial consequences for OSF. Since suspending performances on March 12, OSF teams have been working to plan and schedule a 2021 season.

Cancellations of the Wooden O productions of The Comedy of Errors and Othello, and Cry Havoc series

Today Seattle Shakespeare Company’s Artistic Director George Mount announced that the
company is canceling the Wooden O shows for the summer of 2020. The theatre is also cancelling its May
special presentation of Stephan Wolfert’s Cry Havoc!
“This summer, considering the dreadful novel coronavirus threat, the prospect of large group gatherings
poses too great a risk to the health and well-being of our audiences and our valued artists and support
teams,” said Mount. “For the safety of us all, this year, we cannot not go forward with Wooden O as usual.”
The cancelled Wooden O productions of The Comedy of Errors and Othello will be rescheduled for the
summer of 2021. Seattle Shakespeare was also to present Cry Havoc! In late May and has cancelled that
event. said Artistic Director, George Mount.

Patrons who have questions about tickets or about donating to Seattle Shakespeare Company may contact
the company through the Ticket Office at 206-733-8222 or online at www.seattleshakespeare.org.

/

Weekly Sat from 7pm-10pm, May 16 to June 27, via Zoom Video Broadcast

In celebration of Black Music Month, Wa Na Wari and LANGSTON are partnering to present 2(06) The Break, a seven episode series that takes a uniquely local ‘spin’ on the live streaming DJ sessions popularized by cultural icons like Questlove and DJ D-Nice via social media these past two months. Each week, Jazmyn Scott, Seattle hip hop supporter and co-curator of the 2015 Legacy of Seattle Hip-Hop exhibit at MOHAI, will pair two Pacific Northwest hip hop DJs per episode to collaboratively program and record a set composed exclusively of songs by local hip hop artists of a specific era, from the 1980s to the present. Each DJ set will be presented in a live stream program hosted by two local hip hop luminaries who will bring their unique insight to the tracks in the program and the local culture and music scene of the era represented in the episode.
