Summary: This week Lindsay is joined by Devon Glover, aka The Sonnet Man! Devon travels around the world finding ways to make Shakespeare accessible… through hip hop. He is an incredible educator and shares so much wisdom and inspiration for students and educators alike.  About Devon: Mr. Glover’s story is an inspiration in itself.  Born and raised along with two brothers by a single mom in Brooklyn, he has strived all his life to make something of himself and to give back.  He went through the New York City Public School system and is a graduate of Ithaca College. Mr. Glover teaches and conducts workshops/performances in Harlem, Queens and Brooklyn.  He performed The Sonnet Man in Negril, Jamaica by special invitation from the Board of Education in the Soul Rebellion Hip Hop Festival and will be touring nationally. Devon Glover was featured on The Today Show with a tremendous national response.  The producer said, “I’ve never had so many emails from people saying how much they enjoyed the story and especially the song!”  Find out more:Instagram and Facebook - @thesonnetman Website - www.sonnetmannyc.com If you have questions or ideas for future episodes reach out to Lindsay anytime at lindsay@retheatreco.com.
