I bring Shakespeare to older adults, encouraging them to take ownership of the learning process. Wherever possible, it is the class members who chose what we will work on and how. I encourage lively, in-depth discussion to foster comprehension in an atmosphere where all opinions are respected. The participants choose scenes and/or speeches they would like to work on to share with the community, and as a group we work toward that end, with everyone taking part in deciding how to effectively stage and present the material. Our recent "community share" was an artistic and social success, attended by the residents of the assisted living facility, friends and family, and received a full-page article in the Daily News.
