SHELTON - Join Valley Shakespeare Festival as they celebrate William Shakespeare's 450th birthday.
The party will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. April 26 at Plumb Memorial Library, 47 Wooster St.
Join members of Valley Shakespeare Festival upstairs in the library's General Purpose/Reading room for a gently-used book sale, crafts and story time for the children, light refreshments and, of course, a birthday cake.
Valley Shakespeare Festival's artistic director will read "stories" of Shakespeare's works specially adapted for children throughout the event in an effort to introduce the young guests to his works, answer questions and promote an interest in the classics at an early age.
Children in attendance will also be invited to craft the masks which will be worn by the actors in VSF's free summer production of "Much Ado About Nothing" which will be presented on July 10-12 at 8 p.m. at Shelton's Riverwalk and Veterans Park.
Admission is free. A selection of gently used books, CDs and DVDs will be available for purchase at the party, all proceeds from which will be used to benefit the summer production.
Valley Shakespeare Festival is a non-profit theater company dedicated to bringing free theater to the communities of the lower Naugatuck Valley.
