SUMMARY:Shakespeare Under the Stars: Julius Caesar
DESCRIPTION:“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”\nSet in ancient Rome yet resonating strongly with modern audiences\, Julius Caesar explores the consequences of political unrest and personal conviction through unforgettable characters and powerful language. From Caesar’s triumphant rise to the conspirators’ fateful decision and the chaos that follows\, Shakespeare’s masterpiece remains as urgent and compelling today as ever. \n“Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar gives us a profound and cautionary tale that the fight against tyranny can descend into tyranny itself.

SUMMARY:Preserving Other Voices: The Ashley Bryan Papers at the University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 16th at 5:30pm\, the Jesup Memorial Library will host the 6th Annual Ashley Bryan Honorary Lecture with Lynne Farrington from the University of Pennsylvania Libraries\, where the Ashley Bryan Papers are housed. For this lecture\, the Ashley Bryan Papers will serve as a case study for exploring the role that curators play in determining not just what gets collected and preserved\, but also what gets studied\, exhibited\, and otherwise shared with the public. Bryan’s papers reveal the many dimensions of his experience\, including as a Black soldier during World War II\, and illustrate how what is preserved from the past can affect how history\, now and in the future\, is written and remembered. 34 Mt. Desert Street\, Bar Harbor.
