If you have ever wanted to share your views about Festival plays, their interpretation, and subtle nuances (or to hear the views of others), the Literary Seminar is for you. Theatre scholars (with play directors and actors joining in at times) lead the discussions, allowing audience members to engage in a lively give-and-take where everyone learns.

The seminars are conducted each Tuesday through Sunday from June 29 to September 4. The previous day's play in the Adams Theatre is discussed at 9 a.m., and the Randall Theatre play at 10 a.m., both in the Seminar Grove south of the Adams Shakespearean Theatre. From September 17 to October 23, the seminars are at 10 a.m. only, on the lawn of the Randall Theatre.
