First plays

We will finish reading Measure for Measure next week (Wednesday, September 22), and start watching Richard II. For those with just a small number of parts/lines in this play, don't worry, history plays always have lots of different characters!

We have the Shenandoah Shakespeare schedule

They will be performing Macbeth on Tuesday, January 25, As You Like It on Wednesday, January 26, and Measure for Measure on Thursday, January 27. Student tickets are $12 each. I would like to order our tickets early in December.

Fall Classes

Fall Classes will begin on Wednesday, September 8.
Shakespeare will be from 2:30 to 4:00 again this year.
Have a great summer, and see you in September!

Winter Weather

If the Madison City School cancel classes because of the weather, I will cancel classes because of the weather. If in doubt, please check back here.

January 6 Class

We started Romeo and Juliet today. Next week we should finish the video, and may start the readings.

It's that time again, time to make our reservations for the traveling Shakespeare group. I need a headcount for tickets by next Wednesday, January 13, and I'll need the money by the following Wednesday. (Pretty sure tickets will be $12 each.)

February 10-12, American Shakespeare Center on Tour will be back:
Pre-show lecture 6:30 p.m.; Performance 7:30 p.m..
Wednesday, Feb 10 - All’s Well That Ends Well

We have never been disappointed by these performances.
