This page has information about Journey monthly General Meeting and one time events like Shakespeare Theater and the Writer’s Voice Workshop. Other Paths have their own event information, though public events are typically added to the Journey calendar (shown in agenda view to the right).
Up to date information for all Journey activity should be on the google calendar — try looking at it in Agenda view. If an event is not listed there, you can sometimes find information on the google group site–but ask the Path leader to add the info to the Journey calendar.

Shakespeare Reader’s Theatre
The works of William Shakespeare are beautifully written, but many aren’t aware of how much fun they are to read and to act. Everyone old enough to read Shakespeare is welcome to join us—everyone present will have at least some part in the work (and maybe two or three ). No experience or preparation is needed (though it can be helpful to watch some free performances of the plays beforehand). We’re there to have fun, stretch ourselves a little, and enjoy the Bard’s great work.
- To be scheduled (we’ll try to do this outdoors in downtown Naperville when the weather is warmer)
