“FlagShakes brought their Simply Silly Shakespeare program into my class, and it was amazing. After learning some Shakespeare my students were ecstatic to see and fun and goofy performance that encompassed all of Shakespeare’s greatest works. The actors are brilliant in their delivery and do an amazing job at including all students in the performance. Simply Silly Shakespeare is a hilariously fun interactive performance that I would highly recommend to any class studying William Shakespeare.” – Patron
I Am Playing Me
By Hannah Johnson
Age Range: 10+, adult subject matter
Booking Fee: $600 + mileage for up to 2 vehicles
Run Time: 45 minutes
Written by and starring Hannah Johnson, long-time actor with FlagShakes, this cabaret-style play showcases musical theater songs and stories from Hannah’s life. The performance highlights the growing pains of modern life as a young woman: love, loss, boyfriends, best friends, mammas, tears, and laughter.
“This was the first time I heard Hannah Johnson sing. Having majored in musical theater in college, she negotiates songs as an actress, using a clear, focused chest voice. I was surprised by her ability to bring her emotions into each song and her never losing her breath control. She engaged with her audience as she encouraged us to be better, healthier, and more confident and to join her in the world of cockeyed optimism.” – Patron

“Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous. I can’t tell you much how much I enjoyed that. I almost didn’t come, but my friend knows how much I love watching Shakespeare, and she convinced me to come over.

When I hear the words again, it brings back a lot of wonderful memories.” – Patricia
