Comedy of Errors ends, grad school begins
Sep 16th
We are ending our long run of Comedy of Errors at the beautiful Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, CA. Only 2 performances left! Info at www.montalvoarts.org. (P.S. I’m also on the Montalvo Arts poster for Cinderella, a show I was in with California Theatre Center three years ago that CTC is bringing back to Montalvo. Unfortunately, I won’t be in it this time around.)
Pictures (L-R): Me as the Musician/Officer/Jailer/1st Merchant in Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare Santa Cruz; Libby Wood as Cinderella and me as Prince Charming in the California Theatre Center West Coast Tour of Cinderella in 2008; the gorgeous Villa Montalvo estate in Saratoga, CA, built in 1910 by CA Senator James Phelan. After he died, he mandated that it be turned into an arts center and since then, it has hosted artists from around the world, concerts, conferences and educational programs.
Next week I am finally moving to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. I will be earning my Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting. I’ll post soon about my new experiences there, including performances and music endeavors!
The cherry trees in the middle of the UW campus…even more beautiful in person!
Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare Santa Cruz!
Aug 10th
Here is the official video trailer…
And here are the latest reviews, including a jumping-out-of-his-seat guy from the SF Chronicle!
San Jose Mercury News – “Cheeky musical accompaniment by Jonathan Shue adds to the wackiness.”
Santa Cruz Sentinel – “And Jonathan Shue literally wears many hats as the one-man-band bar none.”
San Francisco Chronicle – “Jonathan Shue is outstanding is the one-man-band who accents the action with music and sound effects.”
The show runs thru August 28 at Shakespeare Santa Cruz, then we perform at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga from September 9-18. Get your tickets at www.shakespearesantacruz.org!
