Hundreds of years after putting pen to page, the works of William Shakespeare continue to resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds. Join special guest host, Lynette Johnson, Senior Director of Arts and Event Services, for a special podcast conversation with Peter Stickney of The Lord Chamberlain’s Men — a premier, all-male theatre company in the U.K. — and the Winona-based Great River Shakespeare Festival’s Aaron Young and Eileen Moeller as they discuss why appreciation for Shakespeare is still so prevalent, the history of Shakespeare and how his plays are adapted today, and how we can continue to foster arts in our community. And, of course, talk about what to expect on the stage at Page Theatre at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota on when The Lord Chamberlain’s Men performs “Twelfth Night” on Nov. 4, 2025.
