Cal Shakes Associate Artist and fellow blogger James Carpenter was just honored by the East Bay Express as part of their annual "Best of the East Bay" issue. Carpenter was lauded for—among other Bay Area portrayals—his roles in Cal Shakes' Romeo and Juliet (Lord Capulet), Uncle Vanya (Professor Serebryakov), and Richard III (King Edward IV)."Besides creating fully believable and affecting characters," they write, "which in itself is no mean feat, James Carpenter can make you look at plays and speeches you might have seen a dozen times anew as if it were the first time....Sure, the play's the thing, but to make the play all about one minor character's tragedy for one fleeting moment is a real art."
