Bring the whole family to this educational program of music and prose pulled from a wide range of Shakespeare’s works. Texts from his plays, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, Twelfth Night, The Tempest and Macbeth, as well as his most famous sonnet, are set in diverse styles, ranging the gamut from opera to doo-wop. With each song briefly placed in dramatic context, the show will be accessible even to those unfamiliar with his work.
