Circle in the Square Theatre School - New York, New York

I recently attended an evening of Shakespeare at Circle in the Square Theatre School, and it was a truly enchanting experience! The venue itself is intimate, allowing for a close connection between the performers and the audience, which really enhances the overall enjoyment of the show.

The students showcased an impressive range of talent and dedication, bringing the classic works of Shakespeare to life with enthusiasm and creativity. It was evident that they had put in a lot of hard work and passion into their performances. Each piece was well-executed, with strong character portrayals and engaging interpretations that made the timeless stories feel fresh and relevant.

I was particularly impressed by the thoughtful staging and direction. The way the students utilized the space added depth to the performances, and the incorporation of various creative elements made for a captivating evening. The selection of scenes performed was diverse, highlighting different aspects of Shakespeare's genius and providing a delightful mix of drama and humor.

The atmosphere in the theater was warm and welcoming, with a sense of community among the audience. It was clear that everyone was there to appreciate the art of theater and support these emerging talents.

Overall, I highly recommend attending a performance at Circle in the Square Theatre School. Whether you're a Shakespeare aficionado or new to his work, you’re sure to be impressed by the talent and creativity on display.

I was wrongfully and unjustly accused of touching the actors, talking to the actors and making them feel unsafe at the 2.7.25 show. I was seated 2nd row from the stage and was forced to move to the back of the Theatre or be kicked out. When I attempted to speak with the house manager afterwards, she was dismissive, rude and refused to hear my evidence supporting/proving they got the wrong woman. My friend who was with me also confirmed I never moved nor talked but she refused to hear us and said "you're lucky I even let you stay."
I came from Seattle to see the show and have been involved in Theatre since I was a pre-teen. I know the rules and etiquette and researched this specific Theatre to learn what was ok and what wasn't. I kept to myself the entire show but was escorted out of my seats, in front of everyone, after the 2nd act started. I was humiliated. I was cheated out of my seats that I paid over $700 for.... and it was because of mistaken identity. There was a woman on the railing, about 5 or 6 rows up, who WAS doing everything i was accused of. You can see the online posts of what she did and where she was sitting.
It was physically impossible for me to touch anyone as they never came close to me and if I were to touch them, I would have had to stand up and lean over the railing to do it. Nor did they come close enough for me to even speak to them. However, I would NEVER do that anyway and kept to myself the entire show.
They got the wrong person and ruined a night I'd been waiting months for and pulled me from my $700 seats.
Worst experience and I'm making sure my innocence is plastered everywhere as I didn't deserve what happened to me.
