Livermore Shakes’ Lisa Tromovitch named President of 

International Organization

 

Livermore, California – Shakespeare’s Associates’, producers of Livermore Shakespeare Festival, Lisa A. Tromovitch was named President of the Shakespeare Theatre Association (STA). STA is an international forum for theaters primarily involved with the production of the works of Shakespeare. The 25th annual STA conference was held in early January in San Francisco and gathered 125 representatives from Shakespeare theaters from all over the world.

Tromovitch states: “STA members have given me so much over the years since I joined in 1998, as founder of Maine Shakespeare Festival, that this opportunity to give to the organization in a substantial way is very welcome. I’ve often called the STA conference ‘my MFA in artistic direction’. The STA founders literally put their arms around my shoulders and counseled me on everything from play selection to legal issues about how to run a company. It was at STA that I learned in depth about Canadian scholar Neil Freeman’s work with early texts. It is his texts that we use at LSF every year.”

Shakespeare’s Associates will produce “Sonnet Cafe”, a romantic evening of wine, chocolate and poems of passion at The City of Dublin’s Heritage Park “Sunday School Barn” Black Box Theater at 6600 Donlon Way, Dublin, CA 94568 on February 13, 14 and 15th. Tickets available at LivermoreShakes.org. Livermore Shakespeare Festival will be held at Wente Vineyards Estate Winery and Tasting Room July 2 through August 2, 2015. Tickets will be available at LivermoreShakes.org or by calling (925) 443-BARD starting in March of 2015.
