Public school students have a rare opportunity to brush up on their Shakespeare this weekend at no cost. More than 300 free tickets are available for Shenandoah Shakespeare Express productions Nov. 17 and 18 at the Reichhold Center for the Arts.
The Express company claims to "blow the cobwebs off Shakespeare," which they will do in performances of "Othello" on Friday, and "Twelfth Night" on Saturday. Both shows are at 8 p.m.
A generous group of corporate sponsors has provided the free tickets, which must be picked up at the Reichhold Center Box Office between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Students must identify themselves when making a reservation, and bring a student ID card when picking up tickets. Call (340) 693-1559 to make reservations. Regular adult tickets are $22 and $18.
The tickets were provided by Dr. Frank Odlum, MSI Building Supply, David Jones Real Estate, John's Auto Center, Rotary Club of St. Thomas, Attorney James Hindels and Reliable Construction.
