Join the Connors Writing Center for a celebratory table reading of Shakespeare’s sonnets and selected passages from his plays in honor of his birthday. On April 23 from 1–2pm, we’ll gather in the Writing Center (Dimond 329) for an informal, welcoming hour of shared reading and listening—prior experience not required, costumes optional. Participants are invited to sign up to read a sonnet, perform a monologue, or join others in a short scene, or simply come to listen and enjoy the language together. 

Any member of the UNH community is welcome to drop in and celebrate Shakespeare’s words. Open to any faculty, staff, and students who would like to join.
