Dr. Bethany Sinnott, a Catawba College professor of English, was one of five Shakespearian scholars from state colleges and universities invited to speak at Elizabeth's Bard Weekend in High Point Sept. 23-24. That event was organized by the N.C. Shakespeare Festival (NCSF).

On Sept. 30, Dr. Sinnott conducted the Nancy Lyles Classics in Context Seminar on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," also in High Point for the Shakespeare Festival. This endowed seminar focused on the NCSF's season productions. In conjunction with the production of "The Taming of the Shrew," Sinnott also offered a Sept. 28 lecture for a group of attendees from the Center for the Faith and the Arts.
