The drama club will present Shakespeare's classical comedy tonight and this weekend.
The following is a guest article by Vanessa Ovian on behalf of the BHS Drama Club: The Burlington High School Drama Club is pleased to announce that it will perform William Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Friday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2:00 and 7:30 p.m., in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center of Burlington High School. A Midsummer Night's Dream features young lovers who fall comically in and out of love in a ridiculously brief period of time (a single, “enchanted” midsummer night)! Written in the late 16th century, it remains one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage. A modern interpretation of the original, the BHS production will maintain all written word but will leap centuries to …

The following is a release from Mary Nohelty, President of the Burlington Historical Society: David Kruh, historian and author, will tell the story of one man's search for the "real" author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. How could William Shakespeare, a man who never sailed, have written with such accuracy about sailing in the tempest?

William of Stratford never spelled his name "Shakespeare," and neither did his birth, marriage, or funeral records. The hyphen in "Shake-speare," as the name appears on published quartos of the plays, is a… more ›
