Join us for a unique personal enrichment course that brings Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" to life through film, literature, performance, and conversation. This immersive experience invites participants to explore one of the world’s most enduring stories from multiple perspectives—classical, contemporary, and communal.

The course opens on April 28 with a screening of the Oscar-nominated "Hamnet," followed by guided reading and engaging discussion of "Hamlet" in Week Two. Together, participants explore themes of grief, family, power, and identity through thoughtful conversation, then experience a filmed performance of "Hamlet" at London’s Globe Theatre directed by Federay Holmes and Elle While in Week Three.

The journey continues beyond the classroom on May 17 with attendance at a live performance of Fat Ham, the bold, modern reimagining of "Hamlet" that has captivated audiences and critics alike at the 4th Wall Theatre. We will conclude our time together with a relaxed Texan style barbecue, offering space to reflect, connect, and celebrate the shared experience.

Everything is included—script, stimulating discussions chaired by Dr. Zach Dailey, remarkable production, scrumptious barbecue, parking downtown for the extraordinary price of $199 per person or if you want to bring a friend, $179 when two tickets are purchased together.

Whether you are a lifelong Shakespeare enthusiast or simply curious about great stories and thoughtful discussion, this course offers a rich blend of culture, creativity, and community. Click HERE to register now!
