Classics in Context
To create a new approach to dialogue and an innovative method of exchange,
we have invited some of the city’s leading players in the arts and political
spectrum to respond to the work created onstage at the Shakespeare Theatre
Company. Classics in Context fulfills the audience’s desire
for discussion with a new perspective and a new approach toward criticism.
Led by Director of Education Gregory Smith, the panels will consist of three
to four guests—sometimes regular and sometimes specific to the production—reacting
to the work of the company in a roundtable format with our audience. Classics
in Context will be held at 5 p.m. in The Forum in Sidney Harman Hall.
