Shakespeare isn’t so tough, and the rewards are great! In this class we will not only learn how to “speak Shakespeare,” but will use all of our other senses and talents to explore the world of the Bard. The week will include an in-depth look at one of his plays, an Elizabethan visit to the Memorial Art Gallery, some acting, artwork, and a look at theatres and costumes. So let’s cook up some chaos, incite some sibling rivalry, get serious about comedy, look lightly at tragedy, and create some conflict as we construct a performance of our own! If you’re interested in inviting the great language and insights of Shakespeare into your present life, there will be something here for you!

Upon the stage we shall seek
To incite a rivalry resolved within the week.
Tragedy or comedy? No matter how it ends,
We shall become dramatic friends!
