Globe Theatre Proposal
I am Steven Samuel, the assistant of Sam Wanamaker. On Mr. Wanamaker’s behalf, I would like to ask for financial support in rebuilding Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The replica will be built in London, England, on the southern bank of the River Thames like the original (“The Globe Theatre” 12). This theater will be a cultural asset for years to come, change children's lives, give joy to generations to come and keep the legacy of Shakespeare alive.

First, the performances in this theatre will lead to more cultured youth. The performances in this replica Globe Theatre will be impressive enough to move even the most stolid of children. Exposing children to a Shakespearean theater production could inspire them to become actors or playwrights

    On March 3rd, I went to a play called Boys Will Be Boys in UNI’s Interpreters Theatre. I initially went because a friend of mine was in it and they asked me to attend. I was excited because i’ve only seen plays done by Theatre UNI, so it would be a nice change to see a smaller scale production. The theatre is located in Lang Hall. It was a very intimate theatre with little to no staging. The actors had to rely solely on a few props and their ability to act.…

    Globe Theater History

    In 1592 there was a plague that broke out and killed 15,003 people and caused the theaters to close down. In 1596 all plays and theaters were banned by London authorities. Because there was drinking, gambling, the plague could spread, and because the church didn’t like it. In 1598 the document for the theater to stay on the land became expired. So they had to dismantle, they had to manually move the timber from the on Theater to the new Globe Theater. The Globe Theater was made up of timber and it was first built in 1599 which is located next to the Rose and on the south side of Thames. It was designed and build for Cuthbert Burbage who was an English theatrical figure and he is the son of James Burbage who is the one that built the theater. The theater is co-owned by Burbage, his brother Robert, Will Kempe, Augustine Phillips, John Heminge, Thomas Pope, and the legend William Shakespeare. Some of the most famous plays they had in 1613 were Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, and Midsummer Night’s Dream and also on 29 June, 1613 while a play or show was happening there was a misfire with a cannon and surprisingly it hit the roof and landed in the Globe’s thatched roof which is a roof made of dry and dead vegetation such as straw and sedge. Because the cannon ball was so hot from being fired; it caught the whole roof on fire and so they closed down the place because of the incident. Surprisingly it took them just one year of building to…

    The American Shakespeare Center is a theatre troupe that attempts to very carefully emulate Shakespearean theatre and the conditions used by Shakespeare. As a troupe, they mimicked early modern English theatre quite well during their performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona. They employed the same staging, the same conditions (as much as possible with modern technology), used the same dialect and costume, scenery and set pieces were minimal, followed the original script well, included live music, and did not have a director. It was a truly an authentic performance. The differences are many having to do with hundreds of years of technological advancements. These are things such as electric lighting, women included in production, and seating.…

    “The whole world is a playhouse” was a phrase that hung above one of the most well-known theaters in the Elizabethan Era. Because of the high demand of entertainment in that time period, The Globe Theater became an enormous success.

    OPRF high school is brimming with diverse cliques, groups, and clubs. But one particular cohort seems to stand out from the rest. The theatre department, overseen by Michelle Bayer, can be described as a whirlwind of activity, with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit, but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity, and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized, primarily, by an abundance of drama, both in the acting sense, and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their diva-like attitudes, and occasional entitlement. I had the opportunity to observe these behaviors up close and personal with my shows I participated in this year.…
