Details:
We will meet at the Shakespeare and Company campus in the Sunset Tent for welcomes and name tags at 3:45 pm.
Following welcomes, we will attend a 4 pm lecture, also in the Sunset Tent. The lecture will be given by Matt Stephenson ('97, J.D./Ph.D ’03), a professor at Harvard Law, artist and Shakespeare enthusiast.
Following the lecture, we'll gather in the Garden Tent for a light buffet dinner, desserts, and an open bar featuring wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages. This special event is complimentary for our group, generously underwritten by a Shakespeare and Company donor (who is also a Harvard professor).
At 7 pm, we will be treated to the main event: Opening night of Hamlet with acclaimed actor Johnathan Epstein ’77 performing the role of Polonius.
