Sonnet Sharing Share your sonnet with a neighbor

Idle Thoughts by Debrianne Hohstadt We lie beneath the skin, trapped; pressed down by The Profession. No one will embrace us. We’re unspoken and unwritten. Denied, We wait in the depths of velvet darkness. Too long we’ve been unheard by younger ears; Yearning for the chance to reclaim the world, Since we’ve long been forgotten. It’s quite clear That we need to break free and be unfurled. Let not the mind command us, but young hands Guide us. We work for greater good of self Expression and exploration. Demands Are few, just passion. Unto thee this quest To find us Words which lie in places blest.

Time’s Garment (a Sonnet Exercise) by Debrianne Hohstadt Never ending is Time’s fabric. Precious Moments we hold dear, yet forgotten by Time; lost stitches, rips, seams in the pattern Of its Maker. Time cares not of how it’s Measured by Man. Not solely ours – controlled; Confined by Time’s hands; no alterations To be made. Time decides the final cut To our youthful aging. Inevitable Failure in attempt to skip ahead a Step. Why a final product? Time wears us Thin – wasted fabric, unproductive time. Remnants of our lives remain for all to See – scraps left for loved ones. Against the grain, We craft our own design of Time’s garment.

The Globe Theater

Shakespeare was one-tenth owner of the theatre. Groundlings got in for a penny and stood on the dirt next to the stage. They brought in food to eat (hazelnuts) and food to throw at the actors in case the show was not entertaining. There were three galleries for the rich (under a roof and seated) The stage was slanted (up stage vs. down stage) Theater Architecture

Seating at the Globe The seats were different prices according to how good the view was Twopence: they perched less comfortably on gallery benches Threepence: they sat on cushions in the Gentlemen’s Rooms Sixpence: these people were well-off and they sat in the Lords’ Rooms to see, and, of course, to be seen 1 penny: the “groundlings” who stood in the yard beneath the open roof

Galleries The wealthy filled the galleries which encircled the yard. Gallery seats were just hard wooden benches without backs. Royalty would occasionally sit on the stage itself in the earlier days of the theater.

Pit Area The yard below the stage was known as the pit. It costs a penny to watch from the yard. Here the poor or common people would stand to watch The floor of this area would often be covered with straw. The poor were called groundlings, penny knaves, and stinkards.

Inner Stage The theater had an inner stage which was usually concealed by a curtain. Certain scenes would be acted out in this inner stage.

Orchestra The orchestra played in an area above the stage (3 rd level). Today they play in the pit. (orchestra pit)

Shakespeare’s Playhouse This is a modern reproduction of the Globe. The Globe has twenty sides. Most of his plays were designed for the Globe.

Audience Audience interaction and participation was expected. Some parts of the scenes were even acted out in the audience.

Advertising Laws prohibited theatre managers from advertising, so to announce that a play was being staged they would raise a flag and play a trumpet

Advertisement Different colored flags represented what type of play was being performed that day. = history = comedy = tragedy

Social Offenses Rank the social offenses in terms of severity. 1 – the worst offense 13 – the least offensive

The Prologue of Romeo and Juliet Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
