Mickey JoHOST
A lot of these American regional theaters like to do Shakespeare.
Mickey JoHOST
There are a great many Elizabethan-style playhouses in North America, fun fact, and it would be really fun to see & Juliet on the stages of some of those sort of Globe imitation theaters in Utah, oh, and Stratford in Canada, and, uh, The Old Globe in San Diego as well, if it hasn't already visited there on tour stops, which I don't believe it necessarily has.
Mickey JoHOST
Plus, and this is my real excitement, get ready for this, high school productions of & Juliet.
Mickey JoHOST
You can bet that at the Jimmy Awards you're gonna start hearing some & Juliet characters.

Nope.

Yes, that's the town where Justin Bieber is from.
Christopher RudderGUEST
So I think he still has, there's a little museum there about him.
Christopher RudderGUEST
But Stratford is literally like a theater town.

A number of police officers in yellow jackets were there to help him in because the crowds were massive.
PanchoHOST
luckily for him the charge was dropped in september of that same year unfortunately just two days before those charges were dropped bieber was once again arrested this time it was near his hometown of stratford ontario so what exactly happened this time well justin got caught in an incident involving an atv and a minivan collision however the main issue occurred after the collision because bieber decided to fight with one of the minivan's occupants After the incident, Bieber again went to the police station on his own, where he was arrested for dangerous driving and assault.
PanchoHOST
But while Justin's continuous legal issues made headlines in 2014, what came next shocked everyone.
PanchoHOST
In March of 2015, Bieber teased his fans' new music when he participated in a Comedy Central roast.

That's right.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
Now, y- now, I know you and I off mic had just talked about the fact you had gone to see the last time Stratford did this show, which was, I believe, 2011.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
If I'm not mistaken-
Graeme McClellandGUEST
2011.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
I will say, for me, my lasting memory of that production, 'cause you and I saw the same production, was that Christopher Plummer was at our show that season.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
And of course, the set was all white marble, so the lights just blasted out the audience, where you could see everybody in the audience.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
And Mr. Plummer was front row, off to the side, where we could all see him at Stratford Shakespeare School.
Mackenzie HornerHOST
And watching him react to the play, like, the evil chuckles he gave at certain moments, like the fly scene or at the hand-cutting scene, you could tell he was just living it up watching this performance.
Aitana GuillaGUEST
Fascism can be defeated if you see the signs.
