Local schoolkids try out their Shakespeare in the Public's annual monologue contest

Pittsburgh City Paper: "'And if mine eyes can wound, now let them kill thee.' The actress stands alone on the big O'Reilly Theater stage, performing Phoebe's monologue from As You Like It. Later, two actors play Romeo and Tybalt, circling each other with prop swords. 'Either thou or I or both must go with him,' one threatens, and after some swift stage combat, the other falls to the floor."

It's amazing how many opportunities kids these days are getting to try things out. That is quite the turn out that they get for something that started out locally though, which does help with the idea that there are still plenty that are interested in the theatre.
