High School Bard
"Friend of the pod" Daisy Tichenor talks about her wonderfully Shakespearean senior year in high school, where she played Beatrice in\xa0Much Ado About Nothing on the Philips Exeter Academy MainStage\xa0and directed\xa0Twelfth Night\xa0for the PEA Dramat at the same time. We talk about incredible opportunities; how informal clubs can accommodate a more diverse group of students; how\xa0stage managing the Scottish play can inspire; the wonder of getting to play a dream role; being born of all mirth and no matter; keeping the timelines straight; and the ultimate tribute to theatre people. Pretention or Science? Discuss. (Length 19:54)\xa0(Daisy Tichenor as Beatrice and Cody Nunn as Don Pedro,\xa0Much Ado About Nothing,\xa0Philips Exeter Academy, directed by Sarah Ream, 2018.)
