I recently covered a session of the Lily McKee High School Fellows on assignment at the Folger Shakespeare Library. This lively program provides challenging and creative opportunities DC-area teenagers for research, performance, and scholarship in the arts and humanities. Thanks to Garland Scott of the Folger for the assignment, and to the students and staff engaged with the program. (I've been quite busy of late - stay tuned for more soon).
