What a wonderful field trip the Honors Program had last night to the AmericanShakespeareCenter's production of The Brats of Clarence!  It was great to have so many of you with us.  The reception had delicious food and provided a special opportunity for us to visit with you.  The play was so funny!  For anyone who has not been to the Blackfriars Theater, you ought to check their schedule and try to go.  You'll be glad that you did!
