“What's past is prologue.” ~ The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 1

Join us for a program of Shakespearean proportions as company members of the Great River Shakespeare Festival read a storybook translation of The Tempest and then investigate some of the rocky seas in the paintings of the Jack Gray in the exhibit Men in Fickle Seas. Prepare to use your body and voices because we will engage in some acting of our own. This program is designed for children ages 5-9 accompanied by an adult. Admission is free, but space is limited. Please call 507-474-6626 to sign up.

This program is free as part of the Museums education and outreach programs.
