Yearning for Tragedy? Pining for Comedy? Can one give way to the other, all in the same play? Let credulity be strained, “awaken your faith”, and behold as darkness yields to the miraculous.
Leontes, Polixenes, Hermione, Paulina, Autolycus. A King consumed, a Queen accused, families torn… ‘til Time heals, Winter tails, and Spring awakens. “Exit, pursued by a bear…” –Leo Schaff

About Nights with Shakespeare
Leo Schaff
Leo Schaff is an actor, singer, songwriter, and poet, with a great passion for Shakespeare. Named “New Yorker of the Week” by Time-Warner Cable TV’s NY1 for his extraordinary contribution to the community through his Shakespeare classes, Leo is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and is a member of The Shakespeare Society of New York. Studied with Stella Adler, classically trained at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, performed at The Actors Studio and The Public Theater, toured the country in the plays of Shakespeare, and has appeared in film and TV (Law & Order).
As a songwriter, his work has been heard from Carnegie Hall to C.B.G.B.’s to the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where his co-written composition “Give Us Hope” – a children’s choir classic – was performed at President Obama’s First Inauguration. Guitar in hand, his one-man song/spoken-word creations, Found, and Won, played to sold-out audiences at New York’s Emerging Artists Theater Festival. He currently teaches Shakespeare at the 92d St. Y, and looks forward to sharing his sense of Shakespearean wonder and bottomless study with one and all.
