Join NNORC for a local showing of Shakespeare in Love. Young Will Shakespeare has writer’s block. The deadline for his new play is fast approaching and he desperately needs some inspiration. That is, until he finds his muse — Viola. This beautiful young woman is Will’s greatest admirer and will stop at nothing to appear in his next play. As love blossoms, so does the comedy, great romance and playwriting.  Join us at theREP for this immersive and sumptuous adaptation of the Academy Award-winning screenplay, complete with swordfights, secret trysts, backstage disasters, and a dog.

DATE: Wednesday, April 17
TIME: 2:00 p.m.
PLACE: Capital Rep is located at 111 N. Pearl St, Albany
RSVP: Please call 514-2023 to reserve a ticket.

The beauty of flowers has inspired civilizations to attribute symbolic and mystic meanings to each blossom. Throughout the ages, beautiful and poetic thoughts have been conveyed by the presentation of a single blossom, and whole messages were communicated by bouquets in which each flower chosen offered a significant idea.  In his plays and poetry, Shakespeare was a master at the use of symbolism through his choice of plants and flowers.  Join Master Gardener Volunteer Cathie Gifford from Cornell Cooperative Extension Come and hear about Shakespeare’s genius, including “And there’s Pansies, that’s for thoughts” (Hamlet).
