All the World's a Stage: A Guilford (Pandemic) Love Story is a spoken word performance piece based on interviews with people from many walks of life in the Guilford community. It will blend their words with the wisdom of Shakespeare and will feature seven women performers from diverse backgrounds. The piece will address Guilford-ites’ experiences of the pandemic while exploring the theme of love in its many forms. To listen to more about the festival piece and Julie’s background, please visit her recent interview at Arts and Entertainment with Deborah Gilbert.

The event will be followed by a post-show talkback and a workshop on creating Spoken Word pieces.
