King Lear Trip Information



This unit includes a trip to see a live production of King Lear.  It is mandatory that you attend the trip unless you have a note excusing you because of a legitimate emergency.

Please meet in front of the school at 9:45 am on Tuesday, February 4.  If you have not already submitted it, you must bring your signed Parent Consent form.

I will make a plan for getting you schedules, MetroCards and report cards.  Please email me at msdame3@gmail.com if you want me to be in touch with your guidance counselors about any scheduling issues you planned to discuss that day.

Here is some information about the play.  If you like reading reviews before you see a production, these may provide an illuminating introduction.  If you prefer to be surprised, only click the top link:
