Georges Vanier Shakespeare Club Performance

The last part of The Magic of Shakespeare project happened yesterday with the Georges Vanier Shakespeare Club performing in the tent at the Shakespeare on the Sask site. It was a well attended and excellent performance.  A special thank you to the Shakespeare Company (The Shakespeare on the Sask cast) for coming out to watch the performance.

Thank you to Mark von Eschen for practicing with the students all week and for giving us the stage time.
