You Gotta Laugh: Shakespeare’s Fools and Clowns
Sunday, June 28, 2026 from 2 PM to 5 PM
Virtual
All Ages
$25-$50

In this online discussion-based workshop, Dr. Sam Kolodezh will discuss the distinction between fools and clowns in Shakespeare’s theater, the performance and theater history behind them, as well as how the function and representation of Shakespeare’s fools and clowns continue to evolve and change. In short, we will think about fools and clowns from a variety of perspectives and approaches. A Zoom link will be sent out to all paying attendees two days before the event. All materials will be provided. All are welcome! We will be discussing Shakespeare, which means there will be some references to "adult themes."
