You’re invited! Please join Valley Shakespeare Festival as they celebrate William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday! The party will be held on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Shelton’s Plumb Memorial Library, 47 Wooster St.
Join members of Valley Shakespeare Festival upstairs in the library’s beautiful General Purpose/Reading room for a gently-used Book Sale, crafts and story time for the children, light refreshments and, of course, a birthday cake (while it lasts!).
Valley Shakespeare Festival’s artistic director will read “stories” of Shakespeare’s works specially adapted for children throughout the event in an effort to introduce the young guests to his works, answer questions and promote an interest in the classics at an early age.
Children in attendance will also be invited to craft the masks which will be worn by the actors in VSF’s FREE summer production of “Much Ado About Nothing” which will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. at Shelton’s Riverwalk-Veterans Park.
Admission is free and a selection of gently used books, CDs and DVDs will be available for purchase at the party (at tag sale prices!), all proceeds from which will be used to benefit the summer production.
Valley Shakespeare Festival is a non-profit theater company dedicated to bringing free theater to the communities of the lower Naugatuck Valley.
