IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom at the Vineyard Church
Join us for Professor Russo’s Shakespeare 101. If you are already an ardent Shakespeare fan, you may come to appreciate him even more. If you know nothing about Shakespeare (or hate him, based on a negative experience in a high school English class), spending these two hours getting to know him a little better may make you a fan. Peggy Russo retired from Penn State University in 2015 after teaching in the English Department there for 30 years. Throughout her career, she specialized in “Shakespeare in Performance,” a method whereby students learn to take plays from the page to the stage by “seeing” plays in their mind’s eye, acting out scenes, viewing film versions, and attending live theatrical productions.
