"Theater tickets get more and more expensive each year, and understandably, because it's expensive to put it on, but that does mean that, you know, people who can't afford that, don't have access to it, and if we don't look after that, we won't have future audience members," said David Melville, co-founder of the Independent Shakespeare CompanyAnd that's why this experience is totally free.
"During the show, we might ask for an audience participation moment. We might, you know, come sing next to you, sit next to you, do a little scene next to you," said Ogunmola.
