Celebrity Sonnets

The Old Globe Theatre
1363 Old Globe Way San Diego

Experience the Bard like never before as San Diego celebrities offer fresh interpretations of Shakespeare's sonnets. Over the past decade, the San Diego Shakespeare Society has paired Shakespeare's work with tango, jazz, Bollywood and rock 'n' roll. Celebrities will be giving you a little bit of Shakespeare (14 lines of poetry), each with their own unique way of presenting. Headliners include emcee Dave Scott, Shakespearean actor Jonathan McMurty, 10-year-old actress Catalina Zelles, The San Diego Civic Youth Ballet (now in it's 73nd year), Kathy Diamant and Byron LaDue, Prof. William Nericcio of SDSU, Leigh Scarritt Productions, and a host of other local celebrities. The event will honor famed oceanographer Walter Munk, who is turning 100 in October and will attend with his wife.
