From San Diego weekend arts preview (KPBS):
Shakespeare truly has it all (as evidenced by all the arts categories this event checks off the list) and the Old Globe is ready to celebrate the 458th birthday of William Shakespeare with performances and activities of all artsy stripes.
There's a fight choreography workshop, sonnet performances with Ric Scales and more, a puppet show, an Elizabethan dance workshop, music and a chance to check out the winners of the sonnet competition (though it's now too late to enter).
This is a free AXIS event in the outdoor Copley Plaza, and it's also the launch of The Globe's new, ambitious "Henry 6" project — which you can read about in KPBS reporter Beth Accomando's feature here. https://www.kpbs.org/news/midday-edition/2022/04/13/globe-launches-ambitious-henry-6-project
