Is Shakespeare sacred?

Geoff Ridden, an academic and performer, will explore this question with his upcoming talk, Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way: Playing with Shakespeare.

April 13, 2017
4-5 pm
Meese Room, Hannon Library
SOU Campus

Geoff Ridden is the Artist Director of the Classic Readings Theatre Company, which specializes in presenting readings of adaptations of Shakespeare plays. He will share intriguing facts about these adaptations, illustrating his talk with examples from the various productions he’s been involved with. Ridden will tackle questions of why Shakespeare’s works have been adapted, and with what results.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of Hannon Library as part of their 2016-17 Speaker Series. The presentation is free and open to all. Get free meter parking for this event by visiting any campus parking meter and using this code: FHL0413.

Finals Week at Hannon

Finals week has descended upon us, so it’s time to push up our sleeves and dig in for that last stretch of effort. But hang in there, students. Spring Break will come before too long. Meanwhile, Hannon Library is here to help with some extra building hours:

Library Hours: March 19-25

Sunday, 11 AM-24 hours*
Monday, Open 24 hours*
Tuesday, Open 24 hours*
Wednesday, Closed at 2 AM*
Thursday, 8 AM-2AM*
Friday, 8 AM-5 PM
*closed at midnight to non-students

Some come to the library, settle in for the long haul, and show those nasty finals who’s boss. And we know how difficult it is to burn the midnight hour, so on 24-hour nights we’re serving up free coffee, tea, and snacks starting at midnight.
