Sheridan Junior High will perform “Hamlet” 

Lead teacher and founder of WYO Play, Grace Cannon-Wallace made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to invite the community to the Sheridan Junior High School’s performance of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

The tragic story of a Prince of Denmark, Hamlet was Shakespeare’s longest play. The play has been abridged by the director of the production, Heather Bujans, to fit within an approximate 90 minute time frame.
