Love's Labour Lost @ The Goldberg Theater

Trinity Church is producing a reading of Love's Labor's Lost at Wednesday, October 13 in the Goldberg Theater of the Dramatic Writing Department.

Students from Shakespeare for Writers and a faculty member from Undergraduate Drama are in the cast.

This reading will be the Shakespeare for Writers class for that Wednesday evening. My sentiment is that it's more useful for the students to see Shakespeare performed than to watch me wave my arms.

To reserve for the reading at Trinity Church, 74 Trinity Place, Sunday, October 10 at 1PM, please

RSVP to Richard Lippold, 212-602-0800 or rlippold@trinitywallstreet.org ($5 suggested donation)

To reserve for the reading in the Goldberg Dramatic Writing Department, please call the GDDW reservation line: (212) 998-1985.
