Join an evening benefit dinner for the Folger Shakespeare Library collections and view new and notable additions in the library's historic Old Reading Room.

Enjoy the opportunity to chat with Folger curators and conservators, and get a truly behind-the-scenes look at these rare materials.

New arrivals include a "heady Hollywood fourteenth century" costume design by Yolanda Sonnabend, a "perpetuall" almanac depicting the four seasons as beautiful women, and a Regency-era cartoon satirizing Shakespearean actress Sarah Siddons. These and other items will be available for "adoption" throughout the evening.
