I say "we" because we are building a community, you and I, and I am forever humbled and grateful for the opportunity.Īs you can see, all seven patron tiers will receive the same benefits. You've given me the foundation from which we can build something great. I've been hosting daily talk shows ( Shakespeare's Coffee Break Mondays thru Thursdays, and Shakespeare's Shameless Self-Promotion Happy Hour on Fridays, and Talking Trek every other Thursday), and been the producer on several other shows. I've been able to take my one-man, audience-interactive, improvisational Shakespeare show and move it into the digital realm, still performing shows with live audiences - all from the comfort and safety of our own homes. Since we've closed the theatres, the renaissance festivals, and school has moved online in many communities, I've started an online theatre company, the Social Distancing Players, with the aim of helping to keep unemployed actors and ren fest performers semi-quasi-gainfully employed by staging re-written for Zoom versions of my plays from the renaissance faires. Since we began the QuaranTime, you - my Patreons of the Arts - have stepped up in a major way, allowing me to continue to continue to create my silly brand of art in a financially viable way. So October 25th, 2019 was my last day of having a regular, full-time job. Self, why would my friendly, neighbourhood Shakespeare need a Patreon page?Īfter performing as Shakespeare as a character since 2005 and having a show at renaissance festivals since 2006 (but also maintaining day jobs), in 2019 I was getting enough gigs at renaissance festivals and shows for libraries and school assemblies that becoming your FULL-TIME friendly, neighbourhood Shakespeare seemed like a viable way forward: doing what I love and making money doing it.

This spot was called the Heavens, and in classical theatre there was a seat that would descend from it periodically that would feature Zeus himself coming down to bring sense to the madness of a particular story (and that's where we get the term deus ex machina - machine of the gods). In Elizabethan theatre, there would be a painted ceiling above the stage, nearly always with an artist's rendering of the night sky, or the constellations, and sometimes the goddesses and gods of the Greco-Roman pantheon.
