Heidi Hodges
As a student, Heidi Hodges tried to like Shakespeare. She read plays, tried to show enthusiasm when Romeo and Juliet was introduced, nodded in agreement, and tried to look sophisticated when others talked about Shakespeare. Tried, tried, tried. Failed.
Then came Door Shakespeare, and everything changed. She knew the world shifted when she laughed and when she cried during a show—and wasn’t doing it just because the rest of the audience was.
Door Shakespeare finally made Shakespeare’s words real, relatable, fun, and poignant. And then, happily, the next generation caught on. Heidi’s offspring, after being force-marched to a showing of Hamilton said, (quote): “Henry V was a lot better.”
So, Heidi, a full-time professional photographer with over 30 years’ experience in all aspects of photography, is very pleased to volunteer photography services to this wonderful, personal theater that provides such a unique experience. Because this organization, this effort, these stories, and these people matter.
