Hamlet - In-person

Join us to probe into Shakespeare's play, Hamlet

Join us for an engaging, interactive, multi‑media exploration of Hamlet. Over four sessions, we will read key selections from the play, watch scenes from filmed productions, and share observations, questions, and insights.

The Study of Hamlet will take place over four 90‑minute sessions.

When: Mondays — August 3, 10, 17, and 24

Time: 6:00 pm to 7:45 pm

Where: Large meeting room

No prior reading is required. All necessary materials will be provided during the sessions.

Bonus: The Folger Theatre will present Hamlet in March

and April 2027. This program is a perfect way to prepare

for the performance!
