Professor David Morden and 2019 Tucson Branch Winner Alec Errhalt discuss the challenge of performing Shakespeare and the excitement of being in New York City to perform with, and meet, students from all over the United States.
Jerry Helm
Jerry has been at the helm of the Tucson Branch ESU Shakespeare competition since 1992, 26 Years! Before that he taught English for 36 years at Pueblo HS - all levels from 9th grade to 12th grade AP. He coached swimming and tennis and held the Shakespeare competition at his school starting in 1988. "Nay [then] it is ten times [3] true"!—almost 30 years of supporting Shakespeare in the schools! Jerry carefully chooses the quotes for each year's T-shirt.
Always teaching, this year he chose:
"The fool both think he is a wise man, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
