Gallery Talk: Mandy Cano Villalobos

Essential for anyone interested in how contemporary artists engage with historical archives and environmental justice—particularly those who find traditional museum lectures too passive. Skip this if you want a polished presentation; this is thinking-in-real-time, and that's precisely the point.

Our Shakespeare Exhibition

Essential for scholars and serious Shakespeare students, but equally rewarding for people skeptical of Shakespeare's relevance who want to understand why his work remains contested cultural territory. This isn't a traditional biography—it's curatorial thinking about canon, legacy, and power.

Out of the Vault

Ideal for Shakespeare enthusiasts and book collectors who want to move beyond passive reading, and for theater patrons curious about how productions are researched and staged. Skip this if you're looking for a polished, narrative-driven exhibition—the appeal here is in the intellectual depth and the conversations between objects and ideas.

Family Workshop: From Print to Paint

This works best for families with kids who already have some exposure to Shakespeare (or who are curious about it) and enjoy hands-on art projects more than sitting still. If your child lights up at the idea of making something that will be displayed publicly, or if you want to demystify the connection between theater and visual art, this is worth your Saturday morning.
