So story time. Way back in the day I needed to have some more Math credits to get into culinary school (math was not my best subject in high school), and enrolled in the local CC. Now to round out my classes to qualify as being a full time student & take advantage of those benefits, I took a couple electives including Shakespeare. I took this class with my friend from HS, and we got up to the usual shenanigans in a class where everyone else were renfaire & thespian types so they took it very seriously. For our final, we were to present an act from a play. Everyone...and I mean every body else in the class came in dressed in the part they were going to act out (and remember, this was back in rhe day before cosplay was a thing). And then there was my buddy and I, presenting Othello in sockpuppetry.

Now, the kicker was, my friend had been failing and I really wasn't in to the class so I was averaging a C. Because of our originality and perfect presentation I got a 2 grade bump and an A, and my friend got a C.

BEST. FINAL. EVER!

presenting Othello in sockpuppetry

I would have loved to see a Shakespearean tragedy with sock puppets. The students probably loved having a break from the other boring presentations.
