The Humanities Lab

Not your typical class

If you love literature, history, and drama, these courses are for you. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re completely new to Shakespeare or a total nerd.

And the time commitment for each course is minimal: one Saturday, and registration includes Folger Theatre tickets and lunch.

Don’t expect a typical classroom setting. We’ll get you up on your feet, speaking Shakespeare’s lines, sticking your nose in books (the really old kind!), exploring our exhibitions, and learning forward at the edge of your seat in our theater.

Course information

We’re running three courses this season, in October, March, and June. Each one costs $150, which includes the price of your theater ticket, lunch, and breakfast goodies. Folger Members pay only $125. Become a member
