San Diego raises the Bard for Shakespeare's sonnets - The San Diego Union-Tribune

San Diego raises the Bard for Shakespeare's sonnets - The San Diego Union-Tribune

San Diego raises the Bard for Shakespeare's sonnets

William Shakespeare is alive and well and living in America's Finest City. The San Diego Shakespeare Society, on whose board I serve, will soon be presenting its 14th annual evening of Celebrity Sonnets. On Monday, Oct. 12, starting at 7:30 p.m., local celebrities and performers will dramatize sonnets to a vast audience. Through dance, music, song and different languages, the event has featured a number of imaginative interpretations. Onstage I'll be joined by the likes of actors Jonathan McMurtry and Ron Choularton, organist Carol Williams, radio host Ross Porter and three dance groups.

The venue is the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage at the Old Globe Theatre, our city's oldest cultural institution. For details, go to

sandiegoshakespearesociety.org.

The Elizabethan age was the age of the sonnet. It was during that period that this compact, highly structured poetic form landed in England and flourished, with William Shakespeare becoming its most luminous practitioner.

Robert Frost once said that writing poetry without rhyme or meter is "like playing tennis without a net." Writers have long been fascinated by fixed poetic forms that impose a rigorous discipline, whose rhythmical patterns, regular rhyme schemes and limited number of lines force meticulous shaping of material. The Japanese, for example, love to write ultrabrief haikus, cobbled from only 17 carefully chosen syllables. In English, the sonnet has been the most popular and durable short poetic form.

More Richard Lederer columns on language

The English, or Shakespearean, sonnet consists of 14 lines of iambic pentameter (five "feet" of unstressed-then-stressed syllables) broken into three quatrains (four-line units) and a couplet and cast in a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. The three quatrains develop an idea or theme, and the final couplet puts forth a conclusion, a summary, an application, a narrowing of focus or even a surprise reversal.

The sonnet has endured and prevailed because it exerts tremendous pressure per square syllable and accomplishes a great deal in a small space. The compactness of the form radiates pleasure not for itself but for what it can do to shape and share the hum and buzz of life. Here's a poem I have composed for the evening of Celebrity Sonnets:

A Sonnet about Sonnets

Our Bard did not invent the stately sonnet.

The hundred fifty-four in his collection

Remade the vessel, thus improved upon it

And lit its form and function with perfection.

He pours his thoughts on life and death and time

Into three quatrains and a couplet brief.

To a youth fair and lady dark, in rhyme,

He sings of lust and love and joy and grief.

To think that God once made a man like him.

In such a miracle we all rejoice.

His words fly up and reach a spatial rim.

His sonnet trove proclaims his timeless voice.

Across four centuries he calls us still —

Our Bard, our Shakespeare, our own living Will.

Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Adding Increased Security To Theaters – CBS Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Adding Increased Security To Theaters

Follow KDKA-TV: Facebook | Twitter

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is taking steps to increase security in the Cultural District.

Flights of fancy and make believe draw us to the stages of the Cultural Trust, but outside the doors, it's a very real world.

"It's an unfortunate reality of the world that we live in now," Kevin Wilkes, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's chief security officer, said.

Soon, to enter the world of entertainment, you'll have to pass through metal detectors.

Those who will be scanning you are now being trained and will go to work first at the Byham Theater on Oct. 13, then at the August Wilson Center on Oct. 20.

"In the month of November, the Benedum Center, which is our largest venue, will have these security measures as well," Cultural Trust Communications Director Robin Elrod said.

Seeing this kind of security coming to our local theaters prompts the question, is it because there has been some sort of credible threat?

"No, absolutely not," Wilkes said. "We are being proactive. We want to make sure we are ahead of the curve rather than behind the curve."

Elrod says more and more traveling shows that come to Pittsburgh's theaters want these security measures.

The good news is these are state-of-the-art metal detectors.

"We're actually able to keep almost all items in your pockets. Your cell phone, your keys, wallets, all get to stay on you," Joe Pavlik, project leader and screening manager for Securitas, said.

"Our equipment is only going to detect those weapons or those knives or guns that have that metal density that is consistent with those types of things that would alert on our technology," Wilkes said.

There will still be a manual check of all bags carried in, so the Trust Arts folks are encouraging you to come at least a half hour earlier than you usually do.

There's even an incentive to encourage you to come really early.

"You will be surprised and delighted to find that our drinks and concessions will be at a discount [if you arrive early]," Elrod said.

Expansion of this level of security is in the planning stages for the other theaters and being considered at Heinz Hall.
