OLLI October Lectures: A Focus on Theater
Shakespeare Lecture 10.19.16
Wednesday, October 19, 1:00 to 3:00 pm, Talent
Tinkering with Shakespeare's plays apparently started back in the 17th and 18th centuries. Become informed about and entertained by some of these early adaptations through lecture and dramatic performances by scholar and actor Geoff Ridden, co-founder of Classic Readings Theatre Company, along with local actors Judith Rosen, Pam Ward and Paul R. Jones. The program will take place in a most appropriate venue for a theatrical topic: Camelot Theatre. Click here for details or to register.
Friday, October 28, 1:00 to 3:00 pm, Medford
See for yourself the progress that has been made on the Holly Theatre restoration. Randy McKay, Executive Director of Jefferson Live!, will describe the history, vision and timeline for completion, as well as the impact this project could have on development in downtown Medford. Note: due to construction, a liability waiver will be required. The audience size will preclude a full tour of the building. Click here for details or to register.
