  • About the presentation

    Sometimes Classical Theatre unfairly gets a bad rap, and it is time to change that. Janice L. Blixt draws on decades of experience working professionally in theatre, exploring the texts of many of history’s greatest writers and making them come to life on stage for contemporary audiences. Come learn about why the classics matter and are more fun than you remember.
