SHAKESPEARE – MACBETH | 50+ YRS Brad Bradford Have you ever wanted to read a Shakespeare play but did not do so, because you thought it just was not for you? Or, perhaps you read a Shakespeare play, but did not get much out of it. We read the plays and assess the characters, plots and themes. Much of the focus examines the themes and ask three questions: What can you learn of value about yourself? Other people? Humanity and the world in general? Bring your own copy of Macbeth for this session. 553555 A 1-2 pm Tu 9/26-11/7 (skip 10/10) Senior Center Bldg 2, Rm 204 $30 O 6 sessions FLIGHT 93 - REAL AMERICAN HEROES | 50+ YRS Van Young The talk tells the story, hour by hour, of one of the four planes hijacked by terrorists and used to attack America on September 11, 2001.
