I'm thinking about auditioning for Shakespeare in the park next year.

I took one class on Shakespeare in college and it was on Saturday mornings and lasted all day (or 3 hours in non-freshman time).

It was amazing. I had so much fun learning all about the characters and time period and cleverness. I wish I could remember more from that class but my biggest take away was this:

"In a Shakespeare tragedy everyone dies, and in a Shakespeare comedy one person is allowed to live"

I've always loved that.

[Edited to clarify the class was not a one off]
