Journeys with Will Shakespeare

Coastal Senior College invites you to be their guest on a complimentary “Journey with Will Shakespeare.” Each month, we will take a whirlwind journey to a different destination as we follow the path of one character from a great play by the master. Join CSC instructor Joseph Coté on Zoom on the third Monday of each month, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Each session is limited to 18 Zoom “explorers” who may volunteer to read a scene from the play and who are all encouraged to participate in the highly interactive feedback and discussion.

Membership in the group is dynamic. Members will need to register monthly when they wish to attend the upcoming "journey." Here's how it works:

On the 4th Monday of each month a link to the registration page for the upcoming month's meeting will be posted here. The page will describe the upcoming "journey." Study guides, video and film sources, and food-for-thought tidbits from “what the scholars say” will be provided two weeks prior to each discussion, and a Zoom link for the meeting will be sent a few days before the journey is set to begin.
