My Name Is Will

an adaptation of Shakespeare's sonnets and songs

adapted by Peter Garino
with music by Chris Walz
Shakespeare's sonnets represent some of his most personal and emotionally charged writing.  Project Founding Member Peter Garino has created a dramatic context for 30 of the sonnets, augmented by songs from six of Shakespeare's plays.  The distinctly American music of Christopher Walz (who toured the world with The Special Consensus Bluegrass Band and currently teaches at the venerable Old Town School of Folk Music) provides a dramatic counterpoint to the Bard's poetry and lyrics.  Join us for this musical celebration that features beautiful poetry, original music and four of your favorite Shakespeare Project actors.

" The students were truly engaged by your adaptation...
your performance gave them a much greater level
of comfort with their comprehension of the drama."

Gwenyth M. Bailey, English Department Chairperson
Lindblom College Preparatory High School
