Are you a Thesbian? Spend a week at MHL this summer.

If drama is your scene, consider spending the week of August 10 through August 14 at the library loving Shakespeare! Every afternoon from 2:30pm-4:30pm we'll create sets, rehearse and put together costumes. The culmination will be the performance of a heavily adapted work of Shakespeare.
