Speaking of Shakespeare
With Sarah Enloe of the    
American Shakespeare Center


Wednesday, March 22
8:00 PM

Is Shakespeare good for business? Can someone with corporate responsibilities benefit from a close examination of works like Coriolanus, Henry V, and Measure for Measure? These are the questions that executives ponder when they participate in a leadership training program that attracts them to the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia. Under the tutelage of Sarah Enloe, who serves as the ASC's Director of Education, they learn about the rhetorical and theatrical principles that Shakespeare and his colleagues drew upon when they produced masterpieces such as Hamlet and The Tempest. In the process they refine their skills in psychology, ethics, communication, and management.
   An award-winning high-school teacher in Texas before she won an NEH fellowship to pursue her studies at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, Massachusetts, Ms. Enloe proceeded to an advanced degree in Shakespeare and Performance at Mary Baldwin College, where she also earned a coveted Ariel Award. In 2009, after serving for a year as Head of Research and Archives at the ASC, she assumed her current responsibilities, which focus primarily on College Prep and Educator Resources. During an engaging conversation with John Andrews, who now serves on the ASC's board of directors, she'll talk not only about her work with corporate leaders but about her many contributions to the artistic mission of an acting company that gives audiences a sense of what it might have been like to see Shakespeare performed in 16th- and 17th-century venues such as the Globe and the Blackfriars.
