Get to Know Us...

Possum Point Players' New Faces of Shakespeare performed various scenes from Shakespeare's works on Thursday, February 16, 2012, 6:30p at the Georgetown Library located in Georgetown, Delaware. The director was Ms. Maureen Downing of Lewes DE.

Here are a few pictures from that event. Click to start the slideshow!

NFS will perform various scenes from Shakespeare's works as a part of the Milton Library's Shakespeare Birthday Celebration.  The date is Saturday, April 21.  This 1:00p performance will be directed by Ms. Sharron Karrow of Milton DE.  Phone the Milton Library at 302.684.8856 for more information.

I think love is the reason we are here, and with the exception of the Bible, no other works have the depth of understanding of the subject of love as do Shakespeare’s. For example, Sonnet 116 on the steadfastness of love takes on a new meaning for me as each decade passes. -- Beverly H. Smith

Possum Point Players' New Faces of Shakespeare invite all to explore the vastness of human emotions through reading and performing the works of William Shakespeare.  The reading group meets at 6:30 P.M. on the second Monday of each month at Possum Point Hall, in Georgetown Delaware. The performing group has a number of opportunities to perform per year in various locations.  NFS specializes in an up-close-and-personal perusal of the Bard’s works, and fun.

If you enjoy reading Shakespeare's plays, this is the group for you!  For more information and what readings will be taking place, please contact Beverly Smith at 302-745-1821.
