Hi, all, it is Steven here again with some slightly exciting news to pass along.This past Saturday APO, our theater honors society, the Honors College, and the Shakespeare Class that Dr Bob Alsop is teaching all went to see Two Gentlemen of Verona, a play by William Shakespeare.
This is a story of love and betrayal that one needs to see in order to find out the story of. It was a great time for us. It is hoped that this tradition will keep continuing to happen .
Until next post,
