Shakespeare Gild Meetings

The Shakespeare Gild meets the first Wednesday of each month in the new room of the lower hall (“Bratten Hall”). Business meetings start promptly at 7:30 p.m., followed by informal scene readings starting around 8:00. NEW: scenes are now chosen from the “Big Box of Scenes” we have on hand. Anyone is welcome to prepare a favorite scene for reading and add it to our collection. Bring ten copies.
