Full Fathom Five

• Wednesday, July 23 @ 7:00 pm
• Woodlawn Library, Wilmington, DE

We are pleased to welcome Delaware Shakespeare's Emily Schuman in Full Fathom Five, music written from and around characters, sonnets, and moments from Shakespeare, for our July Outdoor Concert Series Performance at the Woodlawn Library!

In Full Fathom Five Emily sings and plays, talks about the history and development of the pieces, and interacts with the audience in a manner that one critic referred to as “simply lovely.” This piece is both a labor of love and a remarkable artistic journey based on Emily’s experiences working with Delaware Shakespeare, Walnut Street Theatre, EgoPo Classic Theatre, and Revolution Shakespeare companies.

A graduate of the Fame! Performing arts high school in NYC and Denison University in Ohio and with postgraduate study in Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Emily Schuman has worked professionally as a composer, actor, and musical performer since 2013. She joined Delaware Shakespeare as a composer in 2017 and was named an associate artist in music and acting in 2018.

Delaware Shakespeare is the region’s premiere professional Shakespearean ensemble. Since 2003, the Wilmington-based troupe has performed a wide array of Shakespeare’s works and Shakespeare-adjacent projects across Delaware and beyond - "We envision a Delaware where people from all walks of life celebrate and explore their shared humanity through the lens of Shakespearean works.”

This free performance will take place outside the library on the lawn -- bring a picnic basket and a chair or blanket, and enjoy a summer evening of Shakespeare and live music! In the event of bad weather, we will move inside to the Meeting Room.

This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com.
