Greetings to All Theatre Folks:

As a promising beginning to the new year at Ohio State, the university is hosting a visit from RSC Artistic Director Greg Doran.  Below are two events open to all---as we learn more specifics we will put this information on our website.  If you are teaching—alert your class to attend one or both of these opportunities.  If you are a student—try and make sure you get a chance to attend at least one.  Greg’s productions of Henry IV and Henry V are running in London right now—and they are highly acclaimed. Don’t miss Greg’s visit!

All best wishes and happy new year-- Lesley
