SHAKESPEARE ON!
Join Emily Bryan, Managing Director of Shakespeare on the Sound and former Shakespeare professor, in a lively discussion of our favorite Shakespearean moments. Shakespeare On . . . Relationships! Our ideas of love, romance and friendship are embedded in Shakespeare's plays. Bring a favorite Shakespearean text on relationships (2 lines, 10 lines, a scene or a sonnet) and let's read aloud, revel in our favorites and discuss! Shakespeare ON! will be during the run of Shakespeare on the Sound's Much Ado About Nothing, so we can talk about the production too.
