In addition to touring, Taylor has been an artist-in-residence at Harvard and currently teaches stage performance at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In concert Livingston Taylor alternates between his guitar and piano in performances and has been called "the ultimate crowd pleaser," by Performing Songwriter Magazine; his effervescent charming persona endears him to audiences of all ages.

Flight of the Lawnchair Man
Fri February 29, 2008 & Sat. March 01, 2008

The Saint Edward’s School Theatre Department will be presenting "Flight of the Lawnchair Man" ; a 90 minute, nutty, modern pop/rock musical based on the true story of a dreamer who flew at 16,000 feet altitude in a lawnchair kept afloat by helium balloons, scaring 2 airliners, and the FAA. This is a kooky production filled with wonderful characters including Michelangelo, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart, and all of the Wal-Mart employees of Passaic, New Jersey!



Shakespeare Askew!
Fri. April 25, 2008 & Sat. April 26, 2008


The SES Theatre Department presents their final production of 2007-2008 season “Shakespeare Askew!” An Evening of an “all out-of-kilter” Bard featuring 2 one-act plays by Allison Williams: “Mmmbeth!” and “Drop Dead, Juliet!”

“Mmmbeth!” is a hilarious gender-bending take on the Scottish play! Everything goes wrong. The witches take over the storytelling, Queen Duncan would rather open a donut franchise than die, Lady M's a bloodthirsty June Cleaver, and the murderers are preoccupied with creating a commercial for their services. Premiered at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival!
“DropDead, Juliet!” Allison Williams latest spoof on Shakespeare and SES's FLORIDA THESPIAN ONE ACT COMPETITION PIECE for 2007-2008. Juliet has had enough! Enough with the poison, enough with the stabbing, and especially enough with the dying! She wants a new story and she wants it now. More parts for girls! More romance! Less death! Romeo and Juliet will never be the same - or will it? Not everyone's so keen on the changes. And why is Romeo sneaking off with Rosaline?

Produced by Special Arrangement with Theatrefolk.
