Join us for a three-week exploration of Twelfth Night (1601), one of Shakespeare’s most widely read and frequently performed comedies. Together, we’ll dive into its lively and chaotic plot—shipwrecks, mistaken identities, and unrequited love—while also touching on the play’s more than 400-year performance history and its relevance to contemporary social themes. Sessions will take place on June 11, 18, and 25 at 10:30 a.m. in the Hoff Room (upper Jo Young Switzer Center). A virtual attendance option is also available, with access details shared upon registration. The series is led by Dr. Stacy Erickson-Pesetski, Professor of English and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Manchester University. Since joining the faculty in 2007, she has taught Shakespeare extensively and brings additional perspective from her work leading Shakespeare discussions with incarcerated adults and juveniles at the Allen County Jail in Fort Wayne and the Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility.
