We have been laughing at William Shakespeare’s comedies for more than 400 years! Why? This class will explore the reasons using Kenneth Branagh’s interpretation of Much Ado About Nothing. The play is a delightful look at men, women, love, and marriage (and the star-studded movie cast is spectacular!). We will discuss themes, characters, characteristics of Shakespearean comedy, Shakespeare’s audience as well as major comic actors of his day. No acting experience necessary just a great sense of humor! **A copy of No Fear Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing will be provided electronically to class participants.

Join us as we celebrate the remarkable legacy of the Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold. Renowned for their extraordinary talent, these iconic African- American dancers revolutionized the world of tap and jazz dance with their unmatched acrobatics, impeccable timing, and boundless energy. Born in the early 20th century, Fayard and Harold's journey from the vaudeville stage to Hollywood stardom is a testament to their perseverance, creativity, and sheer brilliance. Their performances captivated audiences worldwide, breaking racial barriers and setting new standards in the entertainment industry. We’ll have a toe-tapping morning as we look at the inspiring story of the Nicholas Brothers.
