Bard for Life

In these weekly evening workshops, you’ll join other adults who dream of bringing Shakespeare’s words to life—no experience necessary! Explore Shakespeare’s plays, guided by professional actors, and delight in the discoveries made by you and your playfellows. For adults 19+.

Bard for Life is generously sponsored by Dr. Marshall Dahl
