Lights! Camera! Shakespeare!
Since the birth of cinema, Shakespeare has been repeatedly and revealingly reframed: as western or film noir, as high school or art house, as popular entertainment or film poetry. In Lights! Camera! Shakespeare! we celebrate the Bard on the box as well as the silver screen with an exhibit of costumes, posters, DVDs, and memorabilia. Exhibit runs from January 30th - April 30th, 2018, in the lobby and lower level of the DiMenna-Nyselius Library.
