Editor Skylar here. In the spirit of getting to know one another, I’ll share a fun fact about me: I’ve always had an interest in Shakespeare. My favorite movie is “10 Things I Hate About You,” which is loosely based on “The Taming of the Shrew,” and my mom covered the play in her 34 years teaching language at my high school.
I tell you this because we’re just under one month away from the close of McNay Art Museum’s “Designing Shakespeare through the Ages” exhibition. Grab your tickets to see it + pencil in a couple of related upcoming events:
Shakespeare Costume Workshop | Saturday, June 14 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m. | Gain insight into historical design techniques and take in the artistry of period costumes.
Shakespeare Acting Workshop | Saturday, June 28 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m. | The session explores iambic pentameter, dramatic delivery, and the movement that shapes each character.
