Yes, they’ll steal the scene. After all, Shakesperience gets school students to the front of the class to do it all the time. And this night, proceeds support those very same educational programs. Education, arts, and children. That’s why we’re here.
Shakesperience very much appreciates the generous support of Naugatuck Savings Bank, People's United Bank, and TC's Jewelery, Pawn & Electronics.
