Shakespeare isn’t as scary as you may think, so say the folks who attend the Shakespeare for Scaredy Cats sessions Dr. Karrie Szatek leads on Thursdays at the Mattapoisett COA. This Thursday, however, the group gathered instead at the Shipyard Inn because the COA was closed for the Juneteenth holiday. While socializing, these attendees, many of whom have been coming to explore Shakespeare for two years, read and chatted about the bard’s The Winter’s Tale. These budding Shakespeareans have formed a wonderful community that also extends beyond the COA and the Inn. In the past and again this summer they will be audience members at the Cape Cod Shakespeare Festival in Chatham, MA. Seniors interested in giving Shakespeare one more chance, you may contact the Mattapoisett COA at 508-758-4110. All are welcome to become part of this little community as well as join us at Gould Park in Chatham to see The Taming of the Shrew and Othello.
