But this year we do it LA Style!
On the morning of April 16th at Los Angeles Theatre Center we invite theatre artists and residents of Los Angeles to celebrate our city and share our talent and diversity with the world by joining together in a group performance of a ‘new’ piece of theatre: the ‘Double Double Sonnet Project’ which combines the witches scene from Macbeth with one of the most beautiful love sonnets of all time. The event will be filmed and sent to England to be a part of their festivities on April 30th.
