SHAKESPEARE IN LA Wolpe confirms that she is simply one of the best interpreters of the Bard out there! Talking Broadway Green Wood Studios, with SoloChicago and Greenhouse Theater, brings visionary theatre artist Lisa Wolpes new solo show Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender, fresh from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, to Greenhouse Theatre’s Trellis Series, September 23, offering a unique celebration of the enchanting power of cross-gender Shakespeare. Wolpe is an actress, director, teacher, producer and artistic director and founder of the Los Angeles Womens Shakespeare Company (LAWSC), an award-winning all-female, multi-cultural theater company. In Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender, she both performs and contextualizes her experience of interpreting some of the many Shakespearean roles she has played -including Hamlet, lago, Richard III and many others, while exploring her own life story from childhood to maturity. Her work speaks towards liberation from the gender box of expectations, and offers a unique and powerful perspective of courage, resilience and hope against her familys troubled background of war, sickness, suicide and despair. Wolpe has played more of the Bards male roles than any woman in history, always to superlative reviews. She recently received the Lee Melville Award for Outstanding Contribution to the LA Theater Community and was awarded the Key to Harlem and a Congressional Certificate of Merit for her work with the Harlem Shakespeare Festival in 2013. She has taught and directed Shakespeare, all levels of acting, as well as directing courses for many theater companies and universities, including the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, USC, Cal Poly Pomona, Emerson College, Wellesley College, Boston University, UCLA and MIT, and has lectured widely on cross-gender Shakespeare. Wolpe will be teaching Shakespeare text and gender workshops with Green Wood Studios on September 21st. See our Training Page for more information.
