Company Interviews: Drew O'Hara, Director

Click here to buy your tickets to As You Like It
We asked Drew O'Hara, the director for our production of As You Like It, a few questions about himself, the production, and love...
Picture
What is your favourite forest? 
I actually grew up performing Shakespeare in Halifax's beautiful Point Pleasant Park... So Shakespeare in the forest is kind of my happy place! 

What’s the best line in the play?
Silvius on the nature of love: 
"It is to be all made of fantasy,
All made of passion and all made of wishes,
All adoration, duty, and obedience,
All humbleness, all patience and impatience,
All purity, all trial, all observance;
And so am I for Phebe."

Did you ever write love poetry?
I met my fiancee in High School, so you better believe there are love poems hidden away somewhere from that time.. I didn't keep them but I think she may have...

What is your favourite 1960's love song? 
The Beatles: I Want to Hold Your Hand 

What have you done with Shakespeare BASH'd before? 
This is my 6th show of Shakespeare BASH'd and my first as Director. This play is full of joy and light... I don't think I've ever laughed so much in rehearsal!  As You Like It is also Shakespeare's most musical play, and I can't wait for people to hear our incredible original score by Kaleb Horn and Hilary Adams! 

What are you most excited for people to see in this production?
The entire company is doing fantastic work in this production. I'm so excited for people to be swept away by this show!!
