What I Learned from Shakespeare

By: Zachary Rosen '16



I need coffee.

Do not do handstands when your pockets are full of flour. Please don't. I've already swept that floor twice. Just don't do it.

Wear a second pair of boxers under your first pair of boxers. It may save your life one day. Or your dignity.

Make sure to fall off of things gracefully. And, if you cannot, try to avoid hitting your head or getting dirt in your mouth.

LOUDER!

Making sure your eyeliner/wings are symmetrical is more difficult than open heart surgery.

You do not look cool with a mohawk; you look like a Doctor Seuss character.

I need more coffee.

Do not paint yourself with ink. It will not come off and you will have weaponized abs for the rest of your life.

You can, in fact, improv Shakespeare! We didn't do it during the performances, obviously... but no one said anything about rehearsals!

Daddy long legs do have souls. And they are all going to hell.

It is best to avoid spilling Ginger Ale on you costume designer's mother's wedding dress. It won't stain, but she'll secretly resent you and plan your demise.

How are these wedding pants getting dirty?! We literally wear them for one scene and sit down the entire time!?!?

BRING. ME. MY. COFFEE.

Despite all the difficulty, putting a play together is worth it. You create something beautiful, and the cast becomes a second family. It's fun, it's empowering, and we will all miss it.

Also coffee...
