"O, for a Muse of fire, that would ascend / the
brightest heaven of invention / Blackfriars
Theater Inaugural Conference Executive Director Ralph Alan Cohen has finally seen his dream come to life with the completion of the Blackfriars Theater in Staunton, Virginia, a structure that will provide a home for his well-known touring company, Shenandoah Shakespeare. The company is under the Artistic Direction of Jim Warren. The building was designed by Tom McLaughlin, Architect. The Conference provided an opportunity for those Shakespeareans interested in the performance side of the field to hear papers, attend workshops, and see performances in the new theater space created to replicate Shakespeare's own Blackfriars Theater. Productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Alchemist, Hamlet, and Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead gave the assembled group and local supporters of the theater building project the chance to experience the plays in this historic setting.
