Yes And: Looking Behind the Curtain with David Weber

<p>Have you ever wondered how a production goes from concept to performance? Join me as I speak to actor, writer, professor, and director David Weber about the difficulties of choosing a show, casting a show, funding a show, and directing a show. There is so much we, the audience, don’t see and we’ll get a peak behind the curtain! We’ll also discuss the encompassing nature of theater and the importance of having a mentor and where to find one. </p><p><em>The Tempest</em> opens at Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park June 11th and runs through the 28th. You are not going to want to miss this production or supporting these amazing actors.
