All the world was a stage for the Roslyn High School Royal Crown Players at the North Shore Shakespeare Festival at Long Island University (LIU) on March 17.

The festival was hosted by LIU professor Valerie Pye and coordinated by music teacher and Royal Crown Players’ Director Christina Cinnamo.

Eleven Roslyn students prepared and performed two scenes, one from “Romeo and Juliet” and the other from “Twelfth Night,” engaging in theatrical workshops with LIU’s musical theatre students currently concentrating in intensive Shakespearean study.

“Dr. Pye provided students with a fantastic learning experience!” Christina Cinnamo said. “She emphasized that when it comes to Shakespeare, we can look to Voltaire for inspiration and make sure that we don’t allow ‘perfect’ to become the enemy of good.”
