Shakespeare’s words are beautiful—but can be baffling. Want to understand what’s really going on in those poetic lines? Join Elm Shakespeare Company’s Artistic Director, Rebecca Goodheart, for a fun, interactive evening exploring how the Bard’s words were designed to come alive on stage. With more than 30 years of experience as a master text teacher and director, Rebecca will:

• Decode the rhythmic and poetic clues embedded in Shakespeare’s verse

• Show how actors use sound and structure to unlock character and emotion

• Share a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of Elm’s Bollywood-inspired 30th anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Whether you're a longtime fan or just curious, this free event is the perfect way to connect with Shakespeare’s genius in a whole new way.

Free and open to all!
