Cast bios

Samuel Frank (Sam, Romeo, Claudius, Othello, epiloguer) appeared in Fresno State's 2005 production of "Henry IV, Part 1" and Good Company Players' 2007 production of "Shakespeare in Hollywood." In 1997, Sam created a skit called "A Guy and his Dog," which he based on "The Taming of the Shrew."

Will Albritton (prologuer, Mr. Marlowe) appeared in the University of South Florida's 1998 production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." In Spring 1999, he studied and workshopped Shakespeare's tragedies at Middlesex University in London, and he wrote a paper titled "Hamlet Is a Pussy; Macbeth Is Pussy-Whipped." Will received a C for the course.

Renee Newlove (Renee, Juliet, Ghost, Lady Macbeth, Desdemona, epiloguer) started reading the unabridged Complete Works of William Shakespeare in the ninth grade and finished by the time she was a junior. She studied at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's summer seminar and has returned at least six times to see productions. Renee has also seen Shakespearean productions in Santa Cruz, San Diego, Glendale, San Francisco and, of course, Fresno. Three years ago, she appeared in the Woodward Shakespeare Festival's inaugural-season productions of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Much Ado About Nothing." She has also participated in numerous readings for WSF, as well as assisted with costumes for 2007's "Othello." Also last year, Renee appeared in Theatre Ventoux's "This Flattering Glass," an adaptation of "Richard II."

Joshua Tehee (Josh, Hamlet, Macbeth, Iago, epiloguer) thinks Shakespeare is an idiot.
