Shakespeare for the Stoners! Shakespeare is typically seen as being difficult to approach, but if people can talk about it while high, maybe it's not as intimidating as you think. Stoners are typically stereotyped as stupid, but maybe if they can approach Shakespeare after smoking weed, they aren't as dumb as you think. Join us as we challenge traditional norms in Shakespeare and society at large.

Broads and the Bard: The Colorado Weird Sisters

Season 3 · Episode 6

Wednesday, August 7, 2024 • Duration 36:48

This week it gets weird. We welcome back Noelia Antweiler and Ilana DeAngelo from last week and introduce Devi Reisenfeld to talk about the weird sisters from Macbeth!

Devi Reisenfeld (She/Her/Hers) is an Actor/Singer/Pisces based here in Denver! After earning her Master’s Degree in Acting from the University of Southern Mississippi, Devi moved to Chicago where she worked professionally for four years playing roles such as Prudence in Beyond Therapy and Edwin Drood in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Devi is a Certified Theatrical Combatant with Dueling Arts International in multiple weapon disciplines and a pretty good little tap dancer but, like castmate Ilana, will always live in the shadow of her portrayal of Gertrude McFuzz in her high school’s production of Seussical circa 2009. Devi is currently performing in CSF’s Macbeth and the Merry Wives of Windsor running until August 11th.

Noelia Antweiler (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Denver! As an actor, she has worked extensively in New York City and around the country.

Ilana DeAngelo (She/Her/Hers) is a performer based in Brooklyn, New York. Her recent credits include Ophelia in Kentucky Shakespeare's Hamlet and Diana in CSF's All's Well That Ends Well- however, nothing compares to her portrayal of Gertrude McFuzz in Seussical when she was 14.

The Problem Plays: The Tempest with Renea Brown and Logan UhiwaiO’Alohamailani Rasmussen

Season 2 · Episode 8

Tuesday, June 6, 2023 • Duration 53:34

The Tempest is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays... It's also one of his most problematic. This week Renea Brown and Aloha Rasmussen explore what it means to safely and responsibly produce The Tempest in 2023.

Renea Brown (she/her) used to hate Shakespeare, so it’s a bit ironic this little black girl from Kentucky, turned into a broadsword-wielding-elizabethan-dancing-classical-actor. She also twerks and uses Megan The Stallions music as a vocal warm up, so you can trust that she's a well rounded human. Renea's favorite play by Billy is Titus Andronicus (fight her), she's played 37 Shakespearean roles, and she's done Macbeth 5 times. If Renea is not on stage, she's watching re-runs of The Office, or she's creating Shakespeare themed gift boxes for her company called Box o’th Bard!

Logan UhiwaiO’Alohamailani Rasmussen (she/her) is a Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) Chicago-based actor passionate about environmental conservation, community engagement and her indigenous culture. You can call her Aloha! She holds a BFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University, and is represented by Shirley Hamilton Talent, Inc. Recent Chicago credits include Babes with Blades Theatre Company (Richard III), and Theatre Evolve (Krugozor). Regionally she has worked with Great River Shakespeare Festival and Hawaii Shakespeare Festival. Coming up next, Aloha will be performing in Midsommer Flight’s production of Cymbeline, touring parks around Chicago. You can also catch her in an Animal Spotlight, or come along for a tour at Shedd Aquarium!

Problem Plays: Timon of Athens with Jeff Miller and Elizabeth Ung

Season 2 · Episode 1

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 • Duration 49:44

What the heck is a Timon of Athens? Join friends of the podcast, Jeff Miller (He/They) and Elizabeth Ung (She/They) as they crack open this lesser known problem play and explain why we should produce it more!

Elizabeth “Liz” Ung (she/they) is a mixed-race queer Chinese American actor and theatre artist, born in the cultural hubs of what was once the Cienega, now southern California; originally from the Piscataway Conoy & Susquehannock lands, colonially known as Baltimore/Washington, D.C.; and currently residing in Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawai’i. One of her Shakespearean dreams is to direct and perform in Timon of Athens through the lens of a woman of color. When they are not having an existential crisis over Asian diasporic identity in art, Liz can be found living vicariously through their friend’s pets, playing nostalgically curated RPG video games, and sleeping.
