Shakespeare: 37 in 97
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2016/06 - June
The Friends of Albert Carlton-Cashiers will present an unforgettable event to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare.
Everyone is invited to the library at 2:00 P.M. Friday, June 10, for a performance of “The Complete Shakespeare Tour,” produced by Western Carolina University.
The play is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through all of Shakespeare’s plays – all 37 plays performed in 97 minutes. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” was London’s longest-running comedy, having clocked in at nine years at the West End’s Criterion Theatre. Join these madcap actors in tights as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in one wild ride.
NBC’s “Today Show” said about this play – “If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!”
The performance, slated for the library’s Meeting Room, is free. For more information, call the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library at (828) 743-0215.
Also at the library, children and young people can participate in its Summer Reading Programs – “On Your Mark, Get Set…Read” for children and “Get in the
Game” for teens.
“We’ve scheduled games, fun activities, and, of course, the wonderful adventures found in the pages of our books,” says program coordinator Melanie Golden. “We’re asking that young people sign up to read throughout the summer – books, magazines, graphic novels – whatever captures their interest. Along the way, we’ll have contests and prizes and special programs to remind them of the world that opens up through the library.”
For more information or to register, contact Golden at (828) 743-0215 or email her at [email protected].
