Emily Mattina, Shakesperience's Artistic Director and the State of Connecticut's 2015 Elizabeth Mahaffee Arts Administration Fellow, will introduce the themes of the production. Ms. Mattina will share her exploration of social constructs, including when Friendship and Romantic Love are in conflict for Two Gentlemen of Verona.
