Description:
Epic, intimate, hilarious, and heartbreaking, Henry IV tells a story about the trials of growing up and the tragedy of growing old, about fatherhood and friendship, the people we choose to become, and the ones we leave behind, be it for good or ill. This production of one of Shakespeare’s most magnificent tales will be fast, furious, no frills fun. The beautiful intimacy of this story will be given a chance to flourish in the Upstage as we “cram within this Wooden O” a story of boundless energy and heart. The Henry IV ensemble includes: Nick Heiderstadt, Richard Jones, Scott Keith, Stewart Moneymaker, Angela Pirko, Corbin Puryear, Sam Reeder, Laura Rikard, Dan Sterlace, Josephine Stewart, Kath Torbet, Andrew Towns

Y’all should post the song list from the pre-performance and intermission.
the versions of Todd Rungren’s “Honest Work” and Tom Wait’s “Come on up to the House” are genius

We joined you last night for this outstanding performance! What a multi-talented troupe you are, merrily playing instruments and joining in song before the play and during the intermission. And what a treat, Sara, to have you greet everyone with such bubbling enthusiasm and share your hearty laughter throughout the performance. The 60 seat setting made for a very intimate experience, the actors physically engaging the front row and each audience member with such intent gaze. I admit we strayed in parts due to the language barrier within a not-so-familiar play, so now we’re anxious to go back and read it to grasp what many audience members did with such delight. The dioramas in the reception area provided wonderful detailed background history and information. In true Shakespearean form, each actor/actress displayed enormous talent within their multiple parts. We will have to check out more LiveArts performances! Thank you for a delightful experience!
