Weekly Calendar
Colloquia
Theatre Hopkins marks the George
Peabody Library's 'Eyre Apparent' exhibition during this
weekend's Baltimore Book Festival with free readings from
Charlotte Bronte's beloved novel. Cherie Weinert portrays
the shy and serious governess Jane Eyre, with Mark
Steckbeck portraying her enigmatic but passionate employer,
Edward Rochester, master of Thornfield Hall. Five readings
varying in length will be presented. The exhibition, at
the library through Oct. 31, follows the novel from its
publication in 1847 to the present, revealing how shifting
cultural contexts have shaped the book's meaning. See Special Events.
