The Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library and WAPAVA will show excerpts of a video recording of the Shakespeare Theatre Company's all-male performance of Romeo & Juliet (2008) and host a discussion with Shakespear scholar Dr. Franklin Hildy.

Dr. Hildy, apart from being an internationally recognized authority on Shakespeare, and the Globe Theatre, also serves as the Head of MA/PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies, the Head of Theatre Scholarship and Performance Studies Cluster, and the Director of Graduate Studies for the School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies at the University of Maryland.
