Sherman George Does Shakespeare

I'm a low-brow kinda guy. No problem admitting that. Have not a lot of time for The Bard, but have plenty of time for Ed Wood. So, in recognition of an event supporting both St. Louis Shakespeare and the Magic Smoking Monkey, we note this upcoming event... which features our favorite Fire Chief!

----------------------------------------------------

It's St. Louis Shakespeare like you've never seen it before! Please join us on Saturday, July 7, as local celebrities and St. Louis Shakespeare/Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre actors perform favorite scenes from past productions - everything from HAMLET and RICHARD III to THE ONE-HOUR STAR WARS TRILOGY and SPEED RACER! Featuring the dramatic stylings of...

Darwyn Apple (St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Bill Chott (Film actor, Comedian), Ruth Ezell (KETC-TV), Alfonso Freeman (Film and Stage Actor), Sherman George (St. Louis Fire Chief), Darlene Green (St. Louis Comptroller), Jill McGuire (Executive Director, Regional Arts Commission), McGraw Milhaven (KTRS Radio), Judith Newmark (Theatre Critic, St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Alvin Reid (Editor, St. Louis American), Vince Schoemehl (President of Grand Center and former Mayor), Jim Shrewsbury (former St. Louis Alderman), Dianne White (Television Personality).
