MURRAY, KY (wkms) - The 2012 Murray Shakespeare Festival gets underway next Tuesday, but festival chairs Dr. Rusty Jones and Dr. Barbara Cobb of MSU's English Department could argue that it's not only already begun, it's an ongoing process. Beyond the plays, the festival provides educational outreach to schools in the Four Rivers region. It's been so successful it's drawn attention and a partnership from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. Doctors Jones and Cobb stopped by to talk about the outreach and how it afforded Kentucky's education commissioner a chance to show off his Shakespearean chops. © Copyright 2012, wkms
