Nebraska Shakespeare Festival Volunteer Opportunity

Come join other Homeschool Families at the Green!

The Nebraska/Iowa Homeschool Families are volunteering at the Nebraska Shakespeare Festival on Thursday, June 26.

The Festival is held at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Campus. The production that night is King Lear - one of Shakespeare's very best dramas.

Volunteers are asked to be at the park at 530. The show concludes shortly after 10.

If you are interested, please contact Lori Darby at 451-3459 or email at loria1121@cox.net. Duties are light and reserved seating is held for volunteers close to the stage - if you've never experienced Shakespeare on the Green in a front row seat - you are in for a treat! If you can't volunteer but you are coming to the festival on another night, stop by the volunteer tent any night - and you'll likely find me and I'd love to say hi!

Thanks for considering this. Have a blessed summer.
