Shakespeare says, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Join Bob Woodward and Lee Osorio as they use Shakespeare's writing to launch conversations about the roles we play and the stories we tell with our lives.

Each class will include performances of excerpts from Shakespeare's most famous plays, followed by discussions examining some of life's biggest questions including: What is the ideal relationship between church and state? Does free will exist? What is truth? And, What awaits us in the afterlife?
