ShakeScene is an exhibit that will be produced in cooperation with Wicked Whimsy Studio to present an experience that celebrates one of Shakespeare’s most iconic plays with a sense of humor and fun. The goal is to offer something informative and fun for people who love Shakespeare, as well as offering an entry way into the world of Shakespeare for those who are not quite sure what they think.
