Woodward Shakespeare Festival

Life moves on. Since my last post, I have endured. I am proud to say that I made the Deans list with a 3.55 this last quarter, but before I go ahead and celebrate my almost graduation, I have to finish 3 more classes. Luckily, those 3 classes will give me a double minor. 2 more upper division french classes, and one upper division theater class and voila, I will be an Art History major with both a french and theater minor. So close, SO CLOSE!!!! :-D

I decided that keeping myself busy has been my summer's goals. So far I have succeeded in that. I have currently been working on Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" for the Woodward Shakespeare Festival which opened last night. Inspired from the 2006 D&G ad campaign which is reminiscent of the Regency period, we took a modern twist by pulling in "High Fashion". My budget really didn't denote a lot of high fashion prices, but I think what I put together looks really nice! Opening was great! Attendance totaled at least 300 people. I have never been involved with a production that had such high attendance on opening night. But, I was in Fresno, and their admission was free, and it was set in the lovely Woodward park. That being said, I did enjoy myself working on this project. Here are some of my inspiration images, along with publicity shots for the production. (We decided to forgo the big white wigs...)
