You’re running out of chances to catch performances of the play Julius Caesar - there are two shows left: one Friday, and one Saturday at Huntington’s Renaissance Theatre.
But we still have a few interviews to share! Next up is Chelsey Nicole Keathley, who wears many hats in the show - she’s a Roman citizen, a member of the press, Publius, and Octavius' intern.
Q: In 25 words or less, what is the story behind the play Julius Caesar?
Chelsey: Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play tells the story of Caesar's powerful leadership over Rome and then his fall from power!
Q: Why did you want to be part of this show?
Chelsey: I wanted to be a part of this show because I had heard nothing but good things about ARTs and thought it would be a good place to do a show. I was right, ARTs is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people!
Q: What's your theatre background, and why do you enjoy doing community theatre shows?
Chelsey: This is only my second show in community theater. My first being CUP's Dracula: The Musical. I love doing shows because its fun and I have met some great people!
Q: Why would you recommend this show?
Chelsey: Six big screen TVs, and blood! Need I say more?
Q: Biggest challenge to this show?
Chelsey: The biggest challenge for me has been everything! Learning to act is a new experience and this show has given me some places to learn to grow. Mike Murdock is an amazing director and I appreciate the opportunity he has given me.
Q: Why Shakespeare?
Chelsey: It's classic but still relevant, as you will see if you come to the show!
Thanks, Chelsey! The show runs March 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. at the Huntington Renaissance Theatre, 900 8th Street in Huntington.
