Calling all Shakespeare fans!
Join Great River Shakespeare Festival education staff for a discussion of the 2016 season.

This year’s plays include Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It, his tragedy Julius Caesar, and Georama, a new musical about the Mississippi River by West Hyler and Matt Schatz. Participants will have plenty of time to ask questions about the plays, the season, and the company during the hour-long program.
Copies of the two Shakespeare plays will be available for checkout. A limited number of free theater passes will be available.
