Sit & Stitch is held every Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m. in Strassweg Auditorium, located in the lower level of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, 180 W. Spring St., New Albany. Its Sit & Stitch group enjoys trading patterns and helping one another with them, and new members are welcome anytime — just drop by.

other,” Eskridge said about the program. “We also enjoy discovering new patterns, and often we are able to help one another out with a ‘tough part’ of a particular project — it can help to have a new set of eyes.” For those who are new to knitting or crochet, Eskridge is glad to provide instruction. All skill levels are welcome at Sit & Stitch. For more information, please stop by the Reference Services Desk or call 812-949-3523.

SHAKESPEARE: Plays are part of First Folio, featuring 18 total CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 famous scene between Romeo and Juliet. “It’s really unlike anything we’ve worked on in the past,” said Robbie Steiner, director of theater arts at Floyd Central. “It’s essentially creating museum exhibits out of theater pieces. The audience can walk through and pick up a little Shakespeare wherever they go.” Monday’s performances, and a Lunch and Learn lecture series Tuesday afternoon focusing on a famous art print of Shakespeare that some say is not Shakespeare at all, are in conjunction with the Frazier History Museum’s “First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare” exhibit in which a collection of the bard’s plays contained in one volume will be on display. During the exhibit, the Frazier, the University of Louisville, and the Louisville Free Public Library, along with more than 40 arts, cultural and community organizations in Louisville and Southern Indiana, are planning an array of programs — dubbed “Will in the Ville” — for the public in support of the First Folio exhibition. Different actors in “Speaking from

Floyd Central will have five students performing works from “The Tempest,” “Hamlet,” Cymbeline” and “Twelfth Night” — all part of a collaboration among the theater departments. “It’s really great when theater programs in the area can get together and collaborate in a positive way for students and the community,” Steiner said. The plays are a part of First Folio, published in 1623 — seven years after Shakespeare’s death — which features 18 of Shakespeare’s plays, including “Macbeth,” “Julius Caesar,” “Twelfth Night,” “The Tempest,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” “The Comedy of Errors,” and “As You Like It.” All 18 appear for the first time in print in the First Folio, and would otherwise have been lost, a Frazier news release stated.

Al Gorman, coordinator of Public Programs and Engagement at Carnegie, said the facility has never staged anything like “Speaking from the Heart,” so it represents an interesting experiment. “There is that element of risk that in this case is attractive,” Gorman said via email. “We are proud of the talents displayed among our younger community living in the Southern Indiana area. We have this wonderful venue in the Carnegie Center and we are looking forward to sharing it in this novel way.” For Steiner, having his students tackle Shakespeare in such a unique way bodes well for the bard while emphasizing the far-reaching appeal of the stage. “I think it speaks to the timelessness of the performing arts and, particularly, the timelessness of theater,” he said. “I always find it amazing when students connect with a Shakespeare piece, or any older piece, for that matter, and get excited about it. “I think that’s an incredible testament to the art form.”

University of Louisville professor Matthew Biberman will present on the untimely demise of Thomas Overbury who perished in the Tower of London on Sept. 14, 1613. This is considered one of the most notorious scandals in the Jacobean Court. Only lately, has Overbury’s name resurfaced in connection with his better known contemporary, William Shakespeare. At issue, is the identity of the man featured in the socalled Cobbe portrait. Recently, Stanley Wells of the Shakespeare Trust has declared the painting to be a true likeness of William Shakespeare, one painted from life. Other experts of the period dispute this claim arguing that the man in the portrait is actually Thomas Overbury.
