Bard for Life

Bard for Life will be back fall 2024. Registration opens for our Fall and Winter sessions Thursday, August 15 at 9am! Check this page or follow us on social for future updates!

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+.
