A Joke to Start the Week - "A Shakespeare Audition"
It's another Monday, and time to share another Joke to Start the Week. Our July program at the Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Adult Vacation Center in Copake, New York, brought us back in touch with staff members and vacationers who shared jokes with us last year and who came prepared with a few more for us to share with you.
Bob Epstein, a retired assistant principal in the New York school system, is a recreation specialist at the Copake camp. He is also a veteran of other adult camps.
In today's post, Bob takes us to the rehearsal room at the New York Public Theatre where director Joseph Papp gives a veteran actor of the Yiddish theatre an opportunity to audition for a Shakespearean role.
Enjoy!
