Someone’s birthday is coming up, and it’s time to celebrate!
In honor of Shakespeare’s birthday, families will explore how celebrations appear in Shakespeare’s plays, including masques from Romeo and Juliet and festivals in The Winter’s Tale. Participants will share how they celebrate important moments in their own lives, then discover how Shakespeare’s characters celebrate meaningful moments in his plays.
Party hats and streamers not required, as we will make our own!
Attendance is free with a recommended $3 donation. There are two sessions available with these recommended ages:
11:30am – 12:30pm | recommended ages 5-7
1:00pm – 2:00pm | recommended ages 8-11
