Come for a round table discussion of Shakespeare in your life: words, works, worlds, illuminations, hauntings…pivotal moments that sustain you, delight you.

How does Shakespeare show up in your daily life? Join us for "Living Shakespeare," a community roundtable series where we explore the Bard's enduring influence on our modern world.

This isn't a lecture or a class—it's a conversation. We will gather to share our personal connections to the plays and sonnets. We want to hear about the words, works, worlds, illuminations, and hauntings that stay with you. Whether you are a lifelong scholar or someone who just remembers a few lines from high school, you are welcome here.

Come share the pivotal moments that sustain and delight you. Let’s discover how Shakespeare lives on through us.

What to expect:

  • Open, friendly discussion
  • A focus on personal connection rather than academic analysis
  • A space to share your favorite quotes or memories
